dpkg-query --showformat
Trying to use --showformat to get information from the package
database. I'm fine with everything EXCEPT the Filename.
All the other items I've tried, the syntax "${Package} . . . ${Version}
etc" the "variable" matches the tag on the lines of the available file --
Package: ...
Version: ....
However, ${Filename} does not output anything -- always blanks.
So, what's the magic? I'm running short on goats here ( and the smell
of burnt goat hair is really annoying ).
