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

[Chris Denneen]

Dmitrijs,

Based on your logic here the following should be true:

root at ubuntu:/var/log# dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}:${Architecture}\n' | grep -E "e2fs|xml-core"
e2fslibs:amd64
e2fsprogs:amd64
xml-core:all

root at ubuntu:/var/log# ls -la /var/lib/dpkg/info/xml-core.list 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1484 Oct 24 14:16 /var/lib/dpkg/info/xml-core.list
root at ubuntu:/var/log# ls -la /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs\:amd64.list 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 309 Oct 24 14:14 /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs:amd64.list

This should be e2fsprogs:amd64.list because its not a "all" architecture like xml-core for example.
root at ubuntu:/var/log# ls -la /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fsprogs.list 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3006 Oct 24 14:13 /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fsprogs.list

Is there a reason dpkg in precise doesn't follow same naming convention
as sid?

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

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “e2fsprogs” package in Ubuntu:
  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
