Bug Description
Hi,
If you install then remove xserver-xephyr from a target's fs, ume-xephyr-start still thinks it's installed. This is because the test is:
dpkg --status $1 &> /dev/null
if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
...
But "dpkg --status xserver-xephyr" will return 0 when a package has been purged and output:
Package: xserver-xephyr
Status: purge ok not-installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
I think grepping for "Status: install ok installed" as well when dpkg --status returns 0 should be enough.
Bye,
