Updated patch attached. Two changes:
1. Use grep-status instead of dpkg. This means needing dctrl-tools for
describe. Is that a big deal? It has the desired behaviour with respect to
exit codes, i.e. 0 for an installed package, 1 otherwise (dpkg --status
exits with 0 for an available or installed package, 1 otherwise).
2. I removed the lines of "=====" from wajig detail's output when it uses a
dpkg command, as its apt-cache-using output doesn't put these lines in.--- commands.py.bak 2008-12-01 10:21:56.000000000 +0000
