I wonder if this minor change would make the ascii art vaguely more understandable: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description vvv-==============-==============-============================================ ii vim 6.0.226-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor Here is another version: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold |Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed ||Prob?=Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Prob: uppercase=bad) ||| Name Version Description vvv-==============-==============-============================================ ii vim 6.0.226-1 Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor I prefer this last one. Comments? Oh well, dpkg 1.10 will have dpkg-query that can be used to generate much better formed reports. -- see shy jo, vaguely remembering when he found this confusing
