Hi, for a script I'm writing I need to get information for several packages. Because "dpkg -s ..." is slow I thought about using grep/awk on /var/lib/dpkg/status directly to get the information. I'm not sure if this is a valid possibility or if direct access to /var/lib/dpkg/status should be avoided.
Can someone comment on this please? Markus Braun -- Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors
