Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
If a package has a colon in its version, this colon is translated as
1%3a in the name of the package residing in the apt cache, making it a
different name than the one available on repositories.
example (among many):
gawk (Dapper)
name in repository -> gawk_3.1.5-2build1_i386.deb
version reported by dpkg-query -W gawk -> 1:3.1.5-2build1
file in /var/cache/apt/archives -> gawk_1%3a3.1.5-2build1_i386.deb
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed
