Actually I misread the status, that's u and n, not U and n, ie "unknown" and "not-installed". Further example: $ dpkg-query --list chromium-browser-dbg 2>&1 dpkg-query: no packages found matching chromium-browser-dbg Why don't I get this result, with vim-athena? Also: $ dpkg-query -s vim-athena 2>&1 dpkg-query: package 'vim-athena' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
