Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal
According to the aptitude manual ("aptitude command-line reference"), search
patters are supported on the command line. On this system, apt-get indicates
that one package needs to be updated:
# apt-get upgrade -s
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
libpcre3
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst libpcre3 [4.5-1.1] (4.5-1.2 Debian:testing)
Conf libpcre3 (4.5-1.2 Debian:testing)
#
However, if I use aptitude to search for packages to be upgraded, it lists
none:
# aptitude search ~aupgrade
#
Either my understanding of the command is incorrect or the command is broken.
If the former then please correct me and I will willingly submit a patch for
the documentation.
