What is the output of the command grep 'Status:' /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -v installed
? You could try to remove the annoying entries, e.g., with an emacs kbd macro. But, I would try the macro first on a copy of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status and make a backup of the original before using the edited file. -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
