Package: libapt-pkg-perl
Version: 0.1.27
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
AptPkg::Cache exhibits some strange behavior with its hash iteration on
multi-arch systems. First, package names returned by the keys method are
duplicated for every architecture, but without any ':architecture' suffix.
(In other words, if you have 3 architectures configured, every package
name appears 3 times in the array returned by keys.) This is odd because
one would expect every entry in the keys array to be unique. It seems
like the package names for foreign architectures should be suffixed with
':architecture'.
Second, I would expect the following code to print out all installed
packages, along with architecture:
use AptPkg::Cache;
my $cache = AptPkg::Cache->new;
while (my ($name, $pkg) = each %$cache) {
if ($pkg->{CurrentVer}) {
print "$name:$pkg->{CurrentVer}{Arch}\n";
}
}
Unfortunately, $pkg->{CurrentVer} always refers to the version for the
native architecture, so this code only prints packages installed under
the native architecture, duplicated for each foreign architecture.
Packages installed only under foreign architectures aren't printed at all.
AptPkg::Cache seems to otherwise support multi-arch, because code such
as $cache->{'libc6:armhf'} returns a package for the correct architecture.
Thanks,
Andrew
