Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: normal

In transferring a package list from one machine to another using 
--get/set-selections, I noticed that the spamassassin package didn't get 
installed. A quick test on the command line showed this:

# dpkg --get-selections | grep spam
spamc                                           install
# grep spam packages.txt
spamassassin                                    install
spamc                                           install
# dpkg --set-selections < packages.txt
# dpkg --get-selections | grep spam
spamc                                           install
#

As you can see both spamc and spamassassin are in the packages.txt file, 
but only spamc is being set by --set-selections.
