Bug#39121: dpkg -l info does not fit
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.3
When listing packages with dpkg, package names will be truncated. The
example below illustrates the problem with the package named
libwine0.0.990523.
Suggestion:
Maybe additional list options to dpkg could be introduced - options that
would list only package name, version, status, or description etc.
At least a way to display the full name.
oskar:~$ dpkg -l libwine\*
