Bug#92263: dpkg --list truncates package names?

[Darabos Edvárd Konrád <voidnil@yahoo.com>]

Hi!

  The COLUMNS (and LINES) variable - by default - is set by the terminal 
software when you resize the window (or change resolution in text mode). No 
problem, perfect! :-)
  My problem is the above mentioned. If you redirect the output of "dpkg -l", 
then it uses an internal default (?) value of 80, so the package names a 
stripped. So I cannot use the output of "dpkg -l" for scripting. I would 
expect a similar behaviour to "ps". Try "ps auxf", and try "ps auxf | cat".

Thanks, Nil.
