Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.5
Severity: minor
The description of apt-cache in the man page is as follows: apt-cache does not
manipulate the state of the system but does provide operations to search
and generate
interesting output from the package metadata.
Yet apt-get is used to request changelogs of packages e.g. `apt-get changelog
gnome-shell`. Either the man pages should be corrected or changelog should be
included into the apt-cache command. Thanks
