That's some heavy parsing, only I don't get it to work. I get "no such file or directory: " from the first, apt-cache-dump invocation. Maybe do a shell function of it (whatever shell you prefer)? Also I don't understand where the argument goes? Where is ${Package} defined, even tho it didn't (for me) even get that far? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
