Confirmed. pkg.candidateOrigin appears to contain a single item, a long string containing the component/archive changes. Not sure if this is what the python-apt API is supposed to return...

(Pdb) print pkg.candidateOrigin
[component: 'main' archive: 'dapper' origin: 'Ubuntu' label: 'Ubuntu' site 'ftp.ubuntu.com' isTrusted: 'True']

[Gary Coady (garycoady)]

One possible way of printing out the debug line "Checking:".
With this code, it looks like
DEBUG Checking: libasound2-dev (['dapper'])

Thanks a lot for your patch. I added a (slightly modified) version of it to the bzr archive and it will be part of the next upload.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

This should be fixed with the upload of version 0.1ubuntu2. Feedback is welcome :)

Thanks,
 Michael

Looks fine - I guess when debugging, the more information in the log, the better :)

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks for giving it some additional testing :)
