It actually finds what it can, which is faulty because the “Fast scanner for RFC-822 type header information” (tagfile.cc) failed to read the stanza properly. I added some traces to pkgTagSection::Scan(), dumping std::string(Start,Stop) after both TrimRecord() calls, and got that: | >>> trimmed record (1) <<< | Package: cdebconf-newt-terminal | Source: cdebconf-terminal | Version: 0.22 | Installed-Size: 43 | Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> | Architecture: amd64 | Provides: cdebconf-terminal | Depends: cdebconf-newt-udeb (>= 0.146), libc6-udeb (>= 2.17), libnewt0.52 | Description: cdebconf newt plugin to provide a clean terminal | Description-md5: 4109a053022081b573d864d84d6eb16d | Section: debian-installer | Priority: extra | | >>> eof <<< | >>> trimmed record (2) <<< | Package: cdebconf-newt-terminal | Source: cdebconf-terminal | Version: 0.22 | Installed-Size: 43 | Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> | Architecture: amd64 | Provides: cdebconf-terminal | Depends: cdebconf-newt-udeb (>= 0.146), libc6-udeb (>= 2.17), libnewt0.52 | Description: cdebconf newt plugin to provide a clean terminal | Description-md5: 4109a053022081b573d864d84d6eb16d | Section: debian-installer | Priority: extra | Filename: pool/main/c/c | | | >>> eof <<< I guess something should read a bit more to get the full stanza, otherwise, some fields (Filename here) end up getting truncated.
