Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
The --installed option in apt-cache currently works only with "depends", "rdepends" arguments. Could you please extend that to "search" as well? For example, if I do rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % apt-cache search konsole konsolekalendar - konsole personal organizer konsole - X terminal emulator konsole-dbg - debugging symbols for the KDE X terminal emulator plasma-runners-addons - additional runners for Plasma and Krunner plasma-widgets-addons - additional widgets for Plasma libtsm-dev - Terminal-emulator State Machine - development libtsm3 - Terminal-emulator State Machine - runtime tilda - Gtk based drop down terminal for Linux and Unix yakuake - Quake-style terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology However, AFAIK, there is no simple way to limit the results to just installed packages. rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % apt-cache search --installed konsole E: Command line option --installed is not understood As a work around, I currently do rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % apt-cache search konsole | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | xargs dpkg -l 2>&1 | grep ^ii ii konsole 4:4.14.2-1 amd64 X terminal emulator ii konsolekalendar 4:4.12.4-1 amd64 konsole personal organizer ii plasma-runners-addons 4:4.13.3-1 amd64 additional runners for Plasma and Krunner ii plasma-widgets-addons 4:4.13.3-1 amd64 additional widgets for Plasma But it would be nice if this is done natively in apt-cache itself. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S.
