How uncouth. You meant, of course, to say COLUMNS=132 ;-) BTW dpkg
should normally know how large the terminal is, but specifying COLUMNS
is helpful when you're redirecting its output to a non-terminal
destination like `less`. Also BTW, I think zsh automatically keeps track
of COLUMNS for you -- you simply need to `export COLUMNS`.
