Odd error when searching for Debian packages

When I run the following queries in QNA on a Debian 12 VM using sudo:

  • exists package “openssh-server” of debianpackages
  • currently installed of package “openssh-server” of debianpackages
  • exists base package “openssh-server” of debianpackages

I get the following error message on all the queries:

  • The expression could not be evaluated: File error “12InvalidStats”

This query works and returns True, however:

  • exists properties whose ( it as string contains “debianpackage:” )

Searching the Big G and the BigFix forums did not return any useful results.
What am I missing?

What version of BigFix is installed? Can you verify it’s the Debian client and not the Ubuntu client (both are dpkg but installing the wrong client can give problems like this)

Version = 11.0.2
Correct answer = DOH!
(Ubuntu client was installed on Debian Servers)

Thanks for the heads up
