Public bug reported: Binary package hint: devscripts
It seems the minimal column widths in rmadison’s output are fixed. The version column has a width of 10 characters (plus padding), the repository column 13 (plus padding). For Ubuntu these two columns should be wider (while the package name column width can be safely made smaller, even zero, as the package name will always expand it in an uniform way). Basically, the defaults which work for Debian do not work for Ubuntu, while the package name column is unnecessarily wide: s...@devielle:~$ rmadison ufraw debian: ufraw | 0.10-1 | etch-m68k | source, m68k ufraw | 0.10-1 | stable | source, alpha, amd64, … ufraw | 0.13-1 | testing | source ufraw | 0.13-1 | unstable | source ufraw | 0.13-1+b2 | testing | alpha, amd64, arm, … ufraw | 0.13-1+b2 | unstable | alpha, amd64, arm, … ufraw | 0.15-1 | experimental | source, alpha, amd64, … ubuntu: ufraw | 0.5+cvs20051021-1 | dapper/universe | source, amd64, i386, powerpc ufraw | 0.11-2ubuntu3 | gutsy/universe | source, amd64, i386, powerpc ufraw | 0.13-1build1 | hardy/universe | source, amd64, i386 ufraw | 0.13-1build2 | intrepid/universe | source, amd64, i386 ufraw | 0.14.1-2 | jaunty/universe | source, amd64, i386 ** Affects: devscripts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: devscripts It seems the minimal column widths in rmadison’s output are fixed.
