Public bug reported:
apt-cache policy should show the full repository path of requested
package, otherwise one cannot know which PPA contains that package.
For example
$ apt-cache policy kvm
kvm:
Installed: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6.1~ppa2
Candidate: 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6.1~ppa2
Version table:
*** 1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6.1~ppa2 0
500 http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1:72+dfsg-1ubuntu6 0
500 http://ftp.linux.it intrepid/main Packages
says that the installed kvm package comes from a PPA, but it doesn't
tell me which PPA amonst the many I have in my sources.list.
The repository path should be displayed by apt-cache, at least for PPAs.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
