You possible did infer that I was quite shocked when I first went to add support for “PATTERN:ARCH” on the command line. Since my response was quite long, attempting to cover the full scope of the issue, I will reiterate the point which applies to your original report: if this is to work in the future, the syntax would be: $ aptitude COMMAND '?narrow(~i, ~nmodule-init-tools)=matched' which for most commands is straight forward. For search, I wonder if it should display an entry for every version or still only one per package, if so, which version gets used when there are multiple? Anyway, as hinted in my follow-up to #687474 a solution for the inconsistency between commands is near. Regards P.S. super wishlist: detect if a search pattern with ~i, or another version-ish term was used, without ?narrow and hint the user that they maybe intended to include the later. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
