Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-0362
2011-01-13 17:41:15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : dpkg
Product : Fedora 14
Version : 1.15.5.6
Release : 6.fc14
URL :
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/dpkg
Summary : Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
Description :
This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required
to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.
This package also contains the programs dpkg which used to handle the
installation and removal of packages on a Debian system.
This package also contains dselect, an interface for managing the
installation and removal of packages on the system.
dpkg and dselect will certainly be non-functional on a rpm-based system
because packages dependencies will likely be unmet.
