[Deborphan-devel] Bug#840796: tell users how do find out what the problem with the status file is

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.8-0.3
Severity: wishlist

# deborphan 
deborphan: The status file is in an improper state.
One or more packages are marked as half-installed, half-configured,
unpacked, triggers-awaited or triggers-pending. Exiting.

Please instead say:

deborphan: The status file is in an improper state. Run

egrep '^Status: |^Package: ' /var/lib/dpkg/status | egrep -B 1 'half-installed|half-configured|unpacked|triggers-awaited|triggers-pending'

to find out which.




Else it will take several hours for the user to figure out what is the problem.
