I have a few packages which don't have the file with that name in the

e.g.
e2fslibs is installed:
ii e2fslibs 1.42-1ubuntu2 ext2/ext3/ext4 file
system libraries
which has the corresponding list file
ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs\:amd64.*
e2fslibs:amd64.list e2fslibs:amd64.md5sums e2fslibs:amd64.postinst
e2fslibs:amd64.postrm e2fslibs:amd64.shlibs e2fslibs:amd64.symbols
so should the function be updated to look for e2fslibs:amd64 or i386 or
is the package name just false and should this be updated (file bug
report to ubuntu about the name)?
thats about 422 packages on my current desktop. But this is about the
installtime so we could also return just 0 or epoch?
I do not have Ubuntu. Just good plain Debian. But anyway - let assume
there is no difference:
I tried this command on my machine:
# for i in $(dpkg -l |grep ii |awk '{print $2}' ); do ls
/var/lib/dpkg/info/${i}.list >/dev/null; done
and I get empty output. So in my system I have
/var/lib/dpkg/info/${package_name}.list for every package.
This was run on Sid, but I should have even old lenny somewhere... Yes,
still the same. File for every package.
So I would say it is Ubuntu problem (or you have corrupted package db).
If you feel it is not your local problem, please file Ubunutu bug report.
