Ok, I have just committed the changes to subversions.
Thanks.

Ummm, the debian port would certainly be a lot faster if we avoid using dpkg as much as possible and do the work directly parsing the files in /var/lib/dpkg. This would mean replacing the `dpkg --status' and `dpkg --listfiles' with greps into some files. In Debian, dpkg is very slow, and apt, which would be faster, is not required, so it is not installed in all debian systems. (To give an idea of how slow is dpkg, `dpkg --status any_package' takes 2 seconds on an AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is because it parses really big files! On that system, it took more than half an hour to generate the output directory for around 1000 packages). If you want, I could do the changes in modules/dpkg.sh.
If you have the time to do so, don't hesitate. I would be glad if you improve the program in that way.
The rpm command is also slow but it seems to be the more portable way to get informations about the rpm database.
