But this is the problem i described! Nobody can know all the ten thousands(!) of packages by there 'real' name - but they do know the metapackage 'Transmission', 'Wesnoth', 'LiberOffice' whatever.
So if they look with "sudo apt-cache policy transmission" after the installed package they get the false result, that the package is not installed; but it is! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178173 Title: 'apt-cache policy pkgname' gives wrong version of installed package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1178173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
