package dpkg
severity 575786 serious
thanks
Totally tired with having this bug here and there with different packages, I
change my mind and bump the severity of this bug to serious, as dpkg fails to
comply with ยง7.6.2 of Debian policy, including an example in the policy:
-8<-
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/exim4-daemon-light_4.69-9_i386.deb
[sudo] password for jackyf:

exim4-daemon-light:

msmtp-mta provides mail-transport-agent and is present and installed.
