Hello together,
listing packages in apt with ”sudo“ in the title returns different output (bash
commands at the end of the email). I would fill a bug report, but I'm not sure
whether to address it to grep or apt. How do you see this?
To me it seems there's neither a bug in apt nor in grep but rather in
your regular expressions.
Kind regards
Julian Schreck

$ apt list sudo* vs. $ apt list | grep "^sudo[a-z-]"
The former also matches "sudo", the latter RE does not - it matches ex.
"sodoa" or "sudo-".
$ apt list *sudo vs. $ apt list | grep "[a-z-]sudo/"
The former also matches "sudo", the latter RE does not - it matches ex.
"bsudo" or "-sudo".
$ apt list *sudo* vs. $ apt list | grep "sudo"
This might give the same results.
BTW: using unquoted wildcards in parameters to shell commands is most
often a bad idea (unless they are really meant to be file name patterns).
