Bug#389684: new README does not close the bug
Hi, The new README you propose does not address the bug at all. All you did was to copy the commandline recipe I used and write a README around it. I *fixed* your commandline recipe and wrote a README around it, that is a difference. It also clearly shows that dpkg does not implement what this bug is asking for; a command line recipe that will return a few false positives is not the same as dpkg already implements this or as adding a --find-removed option to deborphan. dpkg -l | grep '^rc' is excatly what you asked for, the ^ makes the difference and prevents false positives, again: there are no false positives with this fixed command (^ matches the beginning of a line). So your justification a command line recipe that will return a few false positives is not the same as .., is not correct. If you think that deborphan should include a wrapper around dpkg -l | grep '^rc' please retitle this bug using a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the below-mentioned body and I will not close this bug by mentioning it in the README with the next upload: package deborphan retitle 389684 deborphan: Please add a wrapper around dpkg -l | grep '^rc' thanks Thanks for taking care about deborphan :) Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Comparision of both commands: Your proposal with false positives: $ dpkg -l | grep rc ii apt-src 0.25.1-0.1 manage Debian source packages rc binfmt-support 1.2.8 Support for extra binary formats rc libgtkhtml3.8-15 3.12.1-2 HTML rendering/editing library - runtime fil rc mono-common 1.2.2.1-1etch1 common files for Mono rc openvpn 2.0.9-4etch1 Virtual Private Network daemon ii sysv-rc 2.86.ds1-38 System-V-like runlevel change mechanism My proposal without false positives: $ dpkg -l | grep ^rc rc binfmt-support 1.2.8 Support for extra binary formats rc libgtkhtml3.8-15 3.12.1-2 HTML rendering/editing library - runtime fil rc mono-common 1.2.2.1-1etch1 common files for Mono rc openvpn 2.0.9-4etch1 Virtual Private Network daemon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I want you to rename the bug (if you still feel the need of such an option) to be sure that you understand that it would behave exactly like a wrapper around the command that was mentioned in the README.
