I have no solution, but this sounds like the same problem in Webmin's Software module, all the dpkgs are sorted alphabetically instead of by section.

How do i get the "Section:" to show up in dpkg's /sw/var/lib/dpkg/available file? I checked an old fink install (on the compile farm..) and it does have the Section: listed for each package. However, my local copy does not. Does it only get written for binary installed items? I also tried apt-get installing the 10.1 class-dump package and it does not show up for that either.
I tried fink scanpackages, didn't seem to help, though the sections were apparently read during that operation (because it complained about some files that were moved around being in the wrong "Section")
This probably also explains why i have no sections in dselect... Does anyone?
The reason i want it is that i am attempting to get the debian "popularity contest" working for fink, and it currently is glomming everything into "unknown" section.
