Fixed.
But finally, I'm no longer sure about "the better way to this is to have
something similar to rpm: having a version in the package filename".
It's surely easier, since the method used for rpm (with version) to check if
everything is up-to-date works fine for rpm and it's better to do check in the
same way for the different package management. But maybe another method can be
used to check if everything is up-to-date, faster for dpkg.

=================== BUG #1465: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT ===================
Submitted by: yeupou Project: Package DataBase View
Submitted on: 2002-Oct-21 16:02
Category: modules Severity: 7
Bug Group: None Resolution: Fixed
Assigned to: yeupou Status: Closed
Summary: output per package can be outdated (dpkg only)
Original Submission: Apparently, some package information maybe completely
outdated with debian.
For instance, you run pdbv with exim (version 4.01). You update to version 4.10.
Since the comparison is made by the name and the version is not in the name,
pdbv doesnt know that it must update the file exim.html
The better way to fix this is to have something similar to rpm: having version
in the package filename.
Since I have no proposal to fix this without increasing heavily the execution
for now, I propose to release the 1.2.2 without fixing it. This bug also affect
the 1.2.1.
Anyway, it's boring, but pdbv remains usable. Also, despite the fact that 1.2.2
will remain buggy for debian, it will be bug-free for rpm (unlike 1.2.1)
So the 1.2.2 should be release today.
