Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.6 Severity: wishlist Dear APT Maintainers,
apt-cache showsrc should understand the same "apt-cache showsrc <srcpkg>=<version>" syntax as "apt-cache show" does. This bug-report is very similar to https://bugs.debian.org/613664, but is about a different syntax which is also not understood by "apt-cache showsrc". Feel free to merge both issues if they would be implemented in the same place and at the same time. But please update the title of the merged bug report(s) to sport both missing syntax variants so that this fact doesn't get lost. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (900, 'testing'), (899, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (201, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.18.0-trunk-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gnupg 1.4.18-6 ii libapt-pkg4.12 1.0.9.6 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 apt recommends no packages.
