Public bug reported: In a noble VM, I wanted to search only for bindgen package, so I tried the following:
$ apt-cache search ^bindgen$ bindgen - Automatically generate Rust FFI bindings to C and C++ libraries bindgen-0.65 - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C and C++ libraries Why is bindgen-0.65 listed? $ should match with the EOL (man page does indeed refer to regex(7)). ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064905 Title: Dubious output when using regex with apt-cache search To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2064905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
