Subject: Repair doesn't give debian revision
Repair seems to be searching in the file /var/lib/dpkg/available to
find some info about the specific package. It however never seems to
find the debian revision number. I took a quick look in the script and
it seems to search for a sequence "package_revision". In the
/var/lib/dpkg/available the keyword "revision" is used. In the control
file of a package the keyword "package_revision" (case insensitive)
should be used. Some inconsequence is spotted here. Perhaps this is a
bug? in dpkg.
Example:
$ dpkg --status repair
Package: repair
Status: install ok installed
