Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.24 Severity: wishlist The format of dpkg's /var/lib/dpkg/status is similar to format that Packages uses, with one change: 'Status:' line just after 'Package:' line. However, there is an exception from this rule: when package version has 'Essential: yes' line, it's written before the 'Status' line.
My wish is remove this exception and put 'Essential: yes' line after 'Status:' line as dpkg does for all other package entry lines. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-rc7jackyf (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lzma 4.43-14 Compression method of 7z format in dpkg recommends no packages.
