Comment 17 for bug 742017

Bug linkage is ok. Debbug 555790 and debbug 622322 are both related to multiarch. As far as I know, until version 1.53 popularity-contest accessed to dkpg data directly to get list of files belonging to a package. After introduction of multiarch in dpkg several bugs arrised. Now popularity-contest always uses dpkg to get package info, so all the bugs related to direct dpkg database access becomes irrelevant and effectively fixed.

I'll try contact debian maintainers to clarify situation.
