I presume that works (I would be using nativearch="$(dpkg --print- architecture)" through – and poking directly into info/ is discouraged. Checking exitcode of commands like 'dpkg-query -s "$1"' might be better), but note that with a "foo:all" you aren't talking about a package as packages can't have this special architecture. It is a specific version of a package "foo:native" which was built such that it works independently of the underlying native architecture – so the display of fully arch-qualified package names would still be "wrong" as apt-mark talks about packages, not about versions.
This distinction comes into play e.g. if the source package changes from any to all (or vice versa) as this resembles a 'normal' upgrade (which carries over data like the autobit), while there is no upgrade path in the crossgrading foo:i386 to foo:amd64 case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576960 Title: apt-mark prints ambiguous package name Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Example in shell: $ dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package} ${Status}\n' libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1:amd64 install ok installed libfontconfig1:i386 install ok installed $ apt-mark showauto libfontconfig1 $ apt-mark showauto libfontconfig1:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 $ apt-mark showmanual libfontconfig1:i386 $ apt-mark showauto libfontconfig1:amd64 $ apt-mark showmanual libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1 <---- should be libfontconfig1:amd64 $ apt-mark showmanual libfontconfig1:amd64 libfontconfig1 <---- should be libfontconfig1:amd64 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: apt 1.0.1ubuntu2.13 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-85.129-lowlatency 3.13.11-ckt36 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-85-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sat Apr 30 12:50:48 2016 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-21 (587 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Studio 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.1) SourcePackage: apt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) modified.conffile..etc.kernel.postinst.d.apt.auto.removal: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.kernel.postinst.d.apt.auto.removal: 2016-02-03T01:46:24.317010 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1576960/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
