Package: apt Version: 2.6.1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Dave Love <[email protected]>
Dear Maintainer, Apt patterns are used in the update instructions, for instance, but I had to do a web search for documentation on them; they're not referenced from the apt/apt-get man pages. I'm not sure which other man pages are relevant, but at least apt(8) and apt-get(8) should have apt-patterns(7) in the SEE ALSO section, and probably also mention patterns in the text. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.11 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldstable'), (100, 'bookworm-fasttrack'), (51, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-37-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii debian-archive-keyring 2023.3+deb12u2 ii gpgv 2.2.40-1.1 ii libapt-pkg6.0 2.6.1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u10 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14+deb12u1 ii libgnutls30 3.7.9-2+deb12u5 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+deb12u1 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14+deb12u1 ii libsystemd0 252.38-1~deb12u1 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20230311+deb12u1 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.21.22 ii gnupg 2.2.40-1.1 ii powermgmt-base 1.37 ii synaptic 0.91.3 -- no debconf information
