Package: dctrl-tools Version: 2.9.0 Severity: normal grep-dctrl is unable to parse my /var/lib/dpkg/available file, even though it looks perfectly fine to me. Here's what I get when I run grep-available:
$ grep-available asdfasf grep-available: /var/lib/dpkg/available:15344: expected a colon. Or, using the wonderful new --ignore-parse-errors option: $ grep-available --ignore-parse-errors asdfasf grep-available: /var/lib/dpkg/available:15344: warning: expected a colon. grep-available: /var/lib/dpkg/available:15346: warning: expected a colon. And here's the relevant excerpt from my /var/lib/dpkg/available file: $ cat -n /var/lib/dpkg/available | tail +15328 | head -28 15328 15329 Package: automake1.9 15330 Priority: optional 15331 Section: devel 15332 Installed-Size: 1584 15333 Maintainer: Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 15334 Architecture: all 15335 Version: 1.9.6-4 15336 Provides: automaken 15337 Depends: autoconf (>= 2.58), autotools-dev (>= 20020320.1) 15338 Conflicts: automake1.6 (<< 1.6.1-4), automake (<< 1:1.4-p5-1), automake1.5 (<< 1.5-2) 15339 Size: 517180 15340 Description: A tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles 15341 Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from 15342 files called `Makefile.am'. 15343 . 15344 The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance 15345 from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back 15346 of the Automake maintainer). 15347 . 15348 The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions 15349 (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated 15350 `Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards. 15351 . 15352 Automake 1.9 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake 15353 1.4, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 did, so has been renamed so that the previous 15354 version can continue to be made available. 15355 -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.4-gw1 Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dctrl-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dctrl-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Greg Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.gerg.ca/ I am deeply CONCERNED and I want something GOOD for BREAKFAST! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
