I am not sure if this is a bug, and oversight or by design but dpkg -L <package> or dpk-query -L <package> do not always list every single file the package installs.
I was told on #debian-devel that, yes it is in-precise, so I am just wondering why would it *not* list all the files? What defines if a file is included or excluded from this list. I am asking because this list is extremely useful for scripts or tools one might develop, but cannot be considered reliable in the least because of this (IMO) shortcoming. If it is by design, then forgive me, I am probably trying to use dpkg outside of what it was designed for. Is there another definitive method that I should use? just curious.. -- -----Angelina Carlton----- orchid on irc.freenode.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] web:bzgirl.bakadigital.com -------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
