[Pdbv-dev] Solutions for the dpkg "long package names" problem

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

 Hi all, for now I have been able to find two solutions
for the problem.


 1) replace 'dpkg --list' with
 '(COLUMNS=200 && dpkg --list)'

 2) replace 'dpkg --list' with the following script suggested
by Santiago Vila in the spanish debian user mailing list:

(cd /var/lib/dpkg/info/; ls *.list) | sed -e 's/\.list//' | sort


Solution 2 is incredibly faster than 1 (0.150 seconds instead of
about 2 seconds).
