Thanks for responding. This is a really pernicious issue, so PLEASE try to get this resolved. For YOU, you know to 'dpkg -l | cat' to get the correct behavior. For OTHERS, people simply have no known way to answer the question 'what version of package X do I have installed?'. This is not a good state of affairs. dima
