This is because of rc-alert's behaviour: $ dpkg -l bootchart dpkg-query: no packages found matching bootchart $ rc-alert -dU bootchart Package: bootchart Bug: 731669 Title: bootchart: outdated version should not be shipped with jessie Flags: [ ] (none) Dists: [U] (unstable) Package: src:bootchart Bug: 817382 Title: bootchart: Removal of debhelper compat 4 Flags: [ ] (none) Dists: [U] (unstable) This modification should output only rc-bugs of orphaned and installed packages, which ony my system is just a single bug instead of houndreds: rc-alert -dU `wnpp-alert | grep "^O " | cut -d' ' -f 3` -- Sebastian
