All packages shown as "rc" by dpkg on my system seem _not_ to be
installed but are usually removed, but not purged. Example:
→ dpkg -l snapper
[...]
rc snapper 0.8.1-1 amd64 Linux filesystem snapshot
management tool
→ aptitude show snapper
Package: snapper
Version: 0.8.9-1+b1
State: not installed (configuration files remain)
[...]
→ dpkg -s sn<Tab>
completing package
snetz sniffglue snooze snowdrop sntop
>From the design of the current implementation (only show installed
packages for "dpkg -s" completion) it is correct that "dpkg -s"
doesn't complete these packages.
But it seems a valid point that especially the "dpkg -s" completion
also completes packages where only configuration files remain.
So from my point of view, this is a valid feature request for
upstream. Marking it as such.
Regards, Axel
