In chapter 5. The Debian package management system on page 148:

At the bottom of the page, the cut command is missing the field delimiter argument. The correct line reads:

dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Status} ${Package}\n' \
| grep ^deinstall | cut -f4 -d' ' | xargs dpkg -P

http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/store/product.php?asin=1593270690: This is probably the best book about Debian ever written, but it has a specific target audience: those who are already familiar with GNU/Linux, or at least other unices. [...] Martin F. Krafft explains [Debian GNU/Linux] with clarity in a thorough and very well written book. [...] For those with already a basic understanding of GNU/Linux and interested in debian Kraffts book will be THE indispensable companion. [...] This is definitely the best written and most intelligent IT book I have ever read.
