- Here are some currently-known inadequacies:
- urgent
- * Pre-Depends installation ordering
- done
- * a.out version
- * uncomment ELF preinst modification
- * Replaces (auto-deselect for conflicts)
- * Replaces (don't overwrite otherwise)
- * compile with ELF GCC out of the box
- * dpkg --print-architecture
- * Architecture field check
- * symlink rename change
- bugs that need to be fixed quickly
- * version numbers not starting digit early.
- * check description in dpkg-deb
- * field overflow in dpkg --list
- * _always_ show section in --yet-to-unpack
- * automatically do --yet-to-unpack in installation methods
- * check depending packages when installing new version.
- * error handling from some dselect actions. 1399
- * Several things ought to be configurable but aren't.
- * Filenames containing newlines. Conffile names containing spaces.
- * dpkg --status for virtual packages
- * dselect bottom window too large, and/or resize
- * update-alternatives prompting.
- * logging, both transcript logs (kept briefly)
- and action logs (kept forever?) 957
- * start-stop-daemon process status check. 1480
- * remove old docs from /usr/doc/dpkg.
- other stuff unlikely to get done soon
- * single maintainer script, and new package getting there first
- * dpkg -s show something for virtual packages
- * dpkg --listfiles should do better for multi-package files (pkg, pkg: ...)
- * settable defaults for update-rc.d
- * local conffiles
- * hooks
- * gzip -0 option for dpkg-deb
- * There is no documentation. 1526

- * FTP installation method
- * `template' file giving default selections of dselect.
- * update-rc.d in C
- * start-stop-daemon in C. 1670
- * dselect per-half focus and keybindings improvements. 1555
- * floppy map (where are the files)
- * highlight or pre-sort or something new or changed packages,
- during upgrade selection.
- * how to change case of package names
- * support for adding files to dpkg's file lists
- * side-by-side version display
- * `fake' or `null' packages
- * --purge remove empty directories which used too contain conffiles
- * conffiles handling options, including `replace removed files'
