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

[William]

I have done a new net-install and still see these issues.

multiarch has been installed
attached is my /var/lib/dpkg

in the preseed file i install the following packages:
d-i pkgsel/include string nfs-common openssh-server postfix mailutils ntp snmpd hwinfo libnss-ldap libpam-krb5 vim

After the install i give the following command:

for i in $(dpkg -l |grep ii |awk '{print $2}' ); do ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/${i}.list 2>&1; done |grep e2f
ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fslibs.list: No such file or directory
/var/lib/dpkg/info/e2fsprogs.list

When i count the list of packages which do not have a corresponding
packagename.list file.  I have after a clean precise install 101 package
without the correct name.

Regards,

William

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

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
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
