Hi folks, I dont know if this is the right place to post about this, but with my limited english I will try. Let me know if there is a more adequate place.
I think there is a bug in: packages.debian.org I use it (sporadically, I am a slackware guy) for testig some software (for first impressions, when it is dificult to compile in a i686 machine). I already wrote about 4 scripts since 2008 to use that site.These question questions are since ever, but today I wrote this post. Recently I have tried (quicly) apt-get but is it much hard to set a RootDir in some point different from real root dir, for not disturbing my system. I am very confortable parsing web pages when the web site is OK. The essence of my all cited scripts is, I seed an element name and the script downloads and install all the dependences based on the capture error when trying to run th element (as an human being does). A practical and recent case as example, I started my fourth script on April 04 2016, experimenting with WireShark: RUN=wireshark-gtk STDOUT: wireshark-gtk: command not found wget go to (paths ending with the keyword): https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=wireshark-gtk And Get: Sorry, your search gave no results You have searched for paths that end with wireshark-gtk in suite jessie, all sections, and all architectures. But if wget go (manually) to (Package names only): https://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/wireshark-gtk/filelist The Result is: /usr/bin/wireshark-gtk /usr/share/applications/wireshark-gtk.desktop /usr/share/doc/wireshark-gtk/README.Debian /usr/share/doc/wireshark-gtk/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/wireshark-gtk/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/wireshark-gtk/copyright Another problem is instability about results. The same query in different momments result in different results (usually result or no result). For me this is randomic and I cannot give examples at the momment. How i get credible results for package contents? Thanks a lot. PS: Is the a more logical way to do what I intend?
