Robert Euhus, as for #36,
-Strange, no such broken pipe error due to missing backslash-escape occured,
when I tried the script I uploaded.
- You are correct, the awk regex for creating the "list" needs one more space,
because the abbreviated status of a package seems to contain three characters,
last of which is space (' '), if there is no error flag in the package status.
(BTW the db:Status-Abbrev is not available in 12.04, but according to the tags,
the fix is needed for 14.04 and later.) As for the advantage of using
dpkg-query over dpkg -l , for the former you can define output format, whereas
grepping dpkg's output, which contains header lines and some extra information
is not a good practice IMO.
- As of the broken pipe due to exit in awk script, which awk you are using?
Does this give broken pipe in your system?
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}\n' | awk '/dpkg/{print $1; exit}'
(It doesn't in mine.)
