Source: dpkg
Section: base
Priority: required
Maintainer: Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Standards-Version: 2.1.0.0

Package: dpkg
Architecture: any
Essential: yes
Pre-Depends: ${shlibs:Pre-Depends}
Description: Package maintenance system for Debian Linux
 This package contains the programs which handle the installation and
 removal of packages on your system.
 .
 The primary interface for the dpkg suite is the `dselect' program;
 a more low-level and less user-friendly interface is available in
 the form of the `dpkg' command.
 .
 In order to unpack and build Debian source packages you will need to
 install the developers' package `dpkg-dev' as well as this one.

Package: dpkg-dev
Section: devel
Priority: important
Architecture: all
Recommends: cpio (>= 2.4.2-2), patch
Conflicts: dpkgname
Replaces: dpkgname, dpkg (<< 1.4.0)
Description: Package building tools for Debian Linux
 This package contains the tools (including dpkg-source) required to
 unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.  It also contains
 the programmers' and Debian policy manuals, which are the
 documentation for package developers.
 .
 `cpio' and `patch' are also required to manipulate source packages.
 Some older cpios are insufficient - use at least 2.4.2-2.
 .
 Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build -
 for example, most packages need the `make' and the C compiler `gcc'.
