Hi Stuart,
2013-01-23 11:53 Stuart Prescott:
On my own system, I was able to replicate and investigate this with the package
"global" that I had recently installed and removed (some build-dep or other, I
guess). I see the following output from aptitude and dpkg which shows that
"aptitude versions" is incorrectly reporting the state of removed-but-not-purged
packages:
$ aptitude search ~c
c global - Source code search and browse
tools
$ dpkg-query -f'${Status}' --show global
deinstall ok config-files
$ aptitude versions ~n^global$
Package global:
p 5.7.1-2 testing,unstable
550
$ aptitude versions ~n^global$ -F"state=%C action=%A %p %t %i"
Package global:
state=purged action=none 5.7.1-2
testing,unstable 550
Thanks for the report and the analysis. The problem was this indeed,
and also in the curses interface 'c' was shown in the list of packages
(main view), but in the package info screen/view, the version showed 'p'
as well, now it will show 'c'.
So fixed and marked as +pending, will be included in the next release.
Cheers.
