[Bug 1611133] Re: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.
turns out that the issue was caused by an external script which modified the status file. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Assignee: Louis Bouchard (louis-bouchard) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611133 Title: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.

Hi Dimitri- yes my mistake, I meant Description field. I will upload the good and the bad files momentarily... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611133 Title: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.

[Bug 1611133] Re: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.
Do you have dpkg status files that you can share, both good and bad? What do you mean by Package comments -> do you mean Description: field? Looking at my /var/lib/dpkg/status as well as automatic backups in /var/backups/dpkg.status.* I don't see a single package with a Comment: field. Do you have sample .deb packages, which result in truncation post install? https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html mentions Comment: field, however, as an example of user-defined / custom fields, which would not be standards compliant / shouldn't be part of any Ubuntu package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611133 Title: dpkg truncates lines in 'status' file which begin with two spaces.
