Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.0.2
Severity: minor

Message examples:

    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/agrep.
    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/agrep.
    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/buildcast.
    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/buildcast.
    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/cast.

PROBLEM

Each of the message ends in a full stop. The problems is that when you
try to copy the path at the end, double-clicking the word ("the path")
and brings along the final full stop. The end result is not suitable
for pasting.

The full stop also makes writing script that parse words from the line
more complicated than needed. It isn't suitable for simple parsing
like:

     <  output 2>&1 > | awk '{ print $(NF) }'

SUGGESTION

Please remove the last full stop from the output to help the work of
sysadmins.
