The architecture of e.g. debconf is not some specific architecture, but "all".
So when you want to use the output of apt-mark as an argument for dpkg(-query), you need to tune the name by a shell function like this, right? : dpkg-pkgname() { nativearch=$([ "$(uname -i)" = "x86_64" ] && echo amd64 || echo i386) [ -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/"$1".list ] && echo $1 || echo $1:amd64 } -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576960 Title: apt-mark prints ambiguous package name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1576960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
