Bug Description
Both edubuntu-installer and ubuntustudio-
apt-cache policy "${pkg}" | grep Installed | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -c 2-
This relies on the string "Installed" being returned by apt-cache which is translated depending on the system language. Since neither edubuntu-installer nor ubuntustudio-
This will likely be doable by using the error code return from
dpkg -s "${pkg}" &> /dev/null
Additionally, some other idiosyncrasies were used when looking for Depends and Recommends. Now a different algorithm will be used without depending on specific words.
