What is the difference?



Hello list,

I wondered what is the difference between 

a) dpkg --get-selections "*" > mylist.txt
and
b) dpkg --get-selections > mylist.txt

I get different results, but the asterix is a joker, and the results should be 
the same. The manual did not mention the asterix, and I suppose (as many sites 
told using the asterix), option a) is orphaned.

Am I correct?

Cheers 

Hans
