The man page for dpkg says it's inaccurate and also out of date. Is there an updated man page somewhere? I was just wondering if there might be some options for the program that are not listed in the man or --help pages. For example, is there an option to get the long description of an installed package (as opposed to the output of -l)? Is there a way to list the packages that depend on a certain installed package, and a way to list the packages that a certain installed package depends on? I suspect that these options may just be undocumented. If they don't exist, they probably should; all this info is available in /var/lib/dpkg/status (and besides, I think you can do these things with rpm, and I wouldn't want that tool to out-do dpkg in any way ;-).
