Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/dpkg-query.1.gz
Man page says: The default format string is "${Package}\t${Version}\n".
Kindly also reveal there the secret formula that plain
$ dpkg -l
uses, or show how one could come close.
You see, it turns out to be a rather big challenge to say e.g., make dpkg
-l skip the version numbers.
Here I have got rid of the version numbers and "^ii" the best I could:
dpkg-query -W --showformat '${package;-20}${description}\n'|sed '/^ /d'
