How do I reliably inspect the status of a binary package in Debian? Concrete example: Which suites contain iceweasel-l10n-ak? It seems that package exists in Wheezy and Jessie but not Sid. It is listed at <https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/iceweasel> but if I follow links to <https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/iceweasel-l10n-ak> and e.g. <https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/iceweasel-l10n-af> they show different versions. I seem to have heard that binary packages can have different versions than their source package, but assume that needs special tricks and highly suspect that's not the case here, but instead something else is going on. Reason that particular package caught my attention is that I try have boxer handle locale coverage for a region (e.g. "include most possible locale packages for European Union formally supported languages"), and security releases of Mozilla packages seem to contain not only security fixes but also new (hence perhaps also dropped?) locale packages. Changelog of those packages do not seem to cover dropped or newly introduced binary packages - and anyway I'd prefer some more reliable method than inspection of changelogs. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
