Package: dpkg Version: 1.20.6 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@mirbsd.de
TIL (via apt-listchanges) that dpkg-realpath(1) exists. I went on to reading its manual page. It documents the options, sure, but… some words about why it exists, when one would choose it over realpath(1) or readlink(1) -f and when not, etc. would be nice. As things currently are I don’t get the point. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.8-4 ii libc6 2.31-9 ii liblzma5 5.2.5-1.0 ii libselinux1 3.1-2+b2 ii tar 1.32+dfsg-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 dpkg recommends no packages.
