Comment 11 for bug 121735

Don't worry about this issue. My tests were pasted from my terminal into for form. I did not use an automated process since I considered that to be safe. I have a cunning plan (developed on my 15 minute coffee break) that will quash this bug.

I will not look for dpkg as a clue that there is dpkg output, nor will I test for conflicting output. The only text from the dpkg output that reliably displays is 'Desired=Unknown/Install'. I will test for that in any part of line, then disable bar (|) matching before we get to the corrupted output. There will be a few HTML email messages that quote the output that will not be folded. I think that is acceptable.
