apt-show-versions reports deluge not installed but dpkg does

I have a working install of deluge on my box. I have 1.3.4 installed on a Debian Squeeze box. I was told Deluge was installed via repository using apt, so I am confused why apt does not believe it is installed but dpkg does.

Code: Select all

# apt-show-versions -a deluge
Not installed
deluge 1.2.3+git20110209.8c36830-0squeeze1 squeeze      ftp.fr.debian.org
deluge 1.3.3-2                             testing      ftp.fr.debian.org
deluge 1.3.3-2                             unstable     ftp.fr.debian.org
deluge 1.3.3-2                             unknown      ftp.us.debian.org
deluge 1.3.3-2                             unknown      ftp.fr.debian.org
deluge 1.3.4-1                             experimental ftp.fr.debian.org
deluge not installed

Code: Select all

# dpkg -l | grep -i 'deluge'
ii  deluge-common                       1.3.4-1                        bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK (common files)

ii  deluge-web                          1.3.4-1                        bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK (web ui)

From the dpkg output you do not technically have 'deluge' installed, you have 'deluge-common', 'deluge-web' etc... So have you tried the regex switch for apt-show-versions:

Code: Select all

apt-show-versions -a -r deluge

Thanks cas, I was tired and I think I was reading deluged as deluge. Hints my confusion. I tried the code you listed and tried subbing apt-show-versions -a deluge for apt-show-versions -a deluge-common and see everything shows the way it should. Thanks!
