Ouch, I just had a quick look and in package_db.cc, method
packagedb::flush, the filename in installed.db is constructed by
appending a fixed string ".tar.bz2" to name and version.

I skimmed the definition of the class packageversion, but I don't
see an easy way to extract the correct filename or, FWIW, just
the correct suffix.  Apparently the filename is not stored for
installed files.  I tried to use the getfirstfile method but it
returned an empty string.

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?


Thanks,
Corinna
