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. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 8.5-1 GNU core utilities ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.98-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii xz-utils 5.0.0-2 XZ-format compression utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime dpkg recommends no packages.
