Hi, I noticed that `dpkg -V` does not take into consideration potential exclusions defined in its configuration.
An ubuntu-minimal image, for example, has this: ``` $ cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes # Drop all man pages path-exclude=/usr/share/man/* # Drop all translations path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo # Drop all documentation ... path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/* # ... except copyright files ... path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright # ... and Debian changelogs path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/changelog.Debian.* ``` Which results in a lot of noise when `dpkg -V` is run: ``` $ dpkg -V | head ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/python3-pkg-resources/pkg_resources.txt.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/fonts-ubuntu-console/README ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup-bin/NEWS.Debian.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/man/man8/cryptsetup-reencrypt.8.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/man/man8/cryptsetup.8.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/man/man8/integritysetup.8.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/man/man8/veritysetup.8.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/python3-distutils/README.Debian ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/libip4tc2/NEWS.Debian.gz ??5?????? /usr/share/doc/libksba8/AUTHORS ... ``` Shouldn't `dpkg -V` take the path-{exclude,include} into consideration? Is this just a bug (which I can file), or was it a conscious decision? -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
