Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.8.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In virtual-package-names-list.txt, some package names had colon (2),
comma (1) or period (1) after them. Also update date to 2003 since last
change is 2003. I guess these are typos. Hence normal bug.
Also it was not so easy to extract data by script. I Inserted space
before package name. With "grep '^ [a-zA-Z0-9]'", it makes it easy to
feed this into script to extract virtual package names.
If you do not like me adding spaces,
(Yes, I am playing with aptitude database and I like to have easily
updatable information.)
