[Bug 1020833] Re: the filename /var/dpkg/info/e2fslibs.list does not match

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

please read

Please read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec

The package name is alwasy e2fslib. But you can enable foreign
architectures and install e2fslib from other architecture, which will
fetch the _i386.deb for example and install it on your system.

The package.lists seem correct.

If the package is not multi-arched than package.list will be used.
If the package is multi-arched than arch-qualified name will/should be used.

"""
After installing debian sid to see if the same problem exists i get in the output from dpkg -l|grep e2fslib
e2fslibs:amd64 with the corresponding file /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64
"""
and so it does on precise.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  the filename /var/dpkg/info/e2fslibs.list does not match

  Invalid

Bug description:
  Wile investigating package information i found that i have about 400
  packages wich do not have the correct
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.list. (and md5sums file)

  Is there a specific reason for not naming the list file as the
  packagename as shown by dpkg -l, but instead e.g. creating
  /varlib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64.list?

  This does not seem consistent.

  I would expect that the packagename should be e2flibs:amd64 wich has a
  corresponding /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64.list or on i386
  e2fslibs:i386 with the corresponding name
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:i386.list
