indeed, also because it works fine here :S $ dpkg -s nanoblogger-extra Package: nanoblogger-extra Status: unknown ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: web > but would > not be better to use apt-cache instead? well, that's an interesting question, but I don't have an answer about it yet. Currently there's no plane to migrate away from "plain" dpkg for packages querying. >> Also, are you able to still replicate this bug? only with >> nanoblogger-extra or also with other packages? > > This did happen only with nanoblogger-extra and not for > nanoblogger which I RFAed at same time.

Anyhow, I'm less inclined to consider this report as a bug in reportbug, but let's see how deep we go :) Regards, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
