Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
Distribution : Feisty
Reproducibility : Always
The command dpkg -L should list all files installed by a certain
package, but very often it lists files which are not actually installed
.
for example: dpkg -L gcc-4.1 gives , among all other files :
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so
which is not installed with that package.
To check this I have wrote a simple script, which shows packages with
missing files and put their names in a file called missing
here's the script :
#!/bin/sh
for PName in $(dpkg -l | awk /^ii/'{print $2}'); do
for FName in $(dpkg -L $PName); do
if [ ! -e $FName ]; then
echo "missing $FName!!!"
echo $PName >> missing.dup
break
fi
done
done
uniq missing.dup > missing
rm missing.dup
