Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: normal
Hello,
Later dpkg upload did a change[1] which prevents packages to have two fields
with same name. Depending on the definition of comma, could be understood as
comma in dependency fields is "acts as if two fields were present".
Dpkg-cross was duplicating Provides: field[2] and it was fixed as it was a
bug, but already installed packages are not easily removable if they have that
duplicated field. In order to prevent a massive break when upgrading cross libs
from lenny to squeeze, could this behaviour be reverted or at least warn about
it and proceed with the removal?

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Then one could use "$ dpkg -P" and list all dependencies to remove the file,
little bit annoying.

Hello Raphael,

Yes, packages in the repository were affected by this issue (I tried
that time ago).
I have tried to reproduce it this behaviour on a more controlled
environment and you are right, it works as expected.
I close the bug then.
Thanks and apologies for inconveniences!
