explanation of first column "v" is hiding
# man dpkg-query
...
Desired action:
u = Unknown
i = Install
h = Hold
r = Remove
p = Purge
Package status:
n = Not-installed
c = Config-files
H = Half-installed
U = Unpacked
F = Half-configured
W = Triggers-awaiting
t = Triggers-pending
i = Installed
Error flags:
<empty> = (none)
R = Reinst-required
...
Above is the best I could find to explain the meaning of first columns.
Conspicuously absent is:
v
e.g.:
# aptitude search lightdm
...
p liblightdm-qt5-3-dev - LightDM Qt 5 client library (development f
p lightdm - Display Manager
v lightdm-greeter -
p lightdm-gtk-greeter - simple display manager (GTK+ greeter)
v lightdm-gtk-greeter-config -
p lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings - settings editor for the LightDM GTK+ Greet
p lightdm-kde-greeter - LightDM KDE greeter
p lightdm-settings - LightDM configuration tool
p lightdm-webkit-greeter - LightDM Webkit Greeter
p mythbuntu-lightdm-theme - Mythbuntu LightDM setup
p razorqt-lightdm-greeter - LightDM greeter for Razor-qt desktop envir
v razorqt-lightdm-greeter-config -
...
What man page has a listing that includes "v"? Web searches are proving highly
resistant to providing its meaning. :~(
Bonus question: why are descriptions absent from v line-items?
