Re: Package list problem



Yes.

In my last message I don't know if it was clear but I meant that the package
which was to be installed (terminal.app) is on the package list because
I have some other packages that depend on it. Since the repository that
had that package is no longer in my list, it remains there because some
other package depends on it. Probably it is hiding the same package on
one of the repositories configured.

Is there some documentation on the package list format and how can I search it
for the packages that keep the phantom package in the list ?

Hello,

I am running dpkg version 1.14.4.

I've had several repositories configured, and kept changing them for some
time because I had internet access problems. Anyway, the package list shows
a lot of uninstalled packages with no description information (don't know if
dpkg-query -l behaves this way or if its garbage from older repositories)

When I tried to apt-get a package I got the following output :

Did you try to 'apt-get update' first?
