Package: apt Version: 2.9.2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Could there be a possibility (by default or with an option) to not get result like: $ apt rdepends libaio1 libaio1 Reverse Depends: Depends: libaio-dev (= 0.3.112-9) Depends: qemu-utils (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-x86 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-sparc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-ppc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-misc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-mips (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-arm (>= 0.3.93) Depends: zfs-test (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-utils (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-x86 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-sparc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-ppc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-misc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-mips (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-arm (>= 0.3.93) Depends: glusterfs-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: zfs-test (>= 0.3.93) Depends: libdbd-oracle-perl Depends: zfs-fuse (>= 0.3.93) Depends: thin-provisioning-tools (>= 0.3.93) Depends: tgt (>= 0.3.93) Depends: sysbench (>= 0.3.93) Depends: stressapptest (>= 0.3.93) Depends: stenographer (>= 0.3.93) Depends: sbd (>= 0.3.93) Depends: sanlock (>= 0.3.93) Depends: libsanlock1 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-utils (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-x86 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-sparc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-ppc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-misc (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-mips (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: qemu-system-arm (>= 0.3.93) Depends: ocfs2-tools (>= 0.3.93) Depends: multipath-tools (>= 0.3.93) Depends: mariadb-test (>= 0.3.93) Depends: mariadb-server-core-10.5 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: mariadb-backup (>= 0.3.93) Depends: libmariadbd19 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: lvm2 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: liblvm2cmd2.03 (>= 0.3.93) Depends: iiod (>= 0.3.93) Depends: thin-provisioning-tools (>= 0.3.93) Depends: glusterfs-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: gfio (>= 0.3.93) Depends: fio (>= 0.3.93) Depends: ceph-osd (>= 0.3.93) Depends: ceph-common (>= 0.3.93) Depends: ceph-base (>= 0.3.93) Depends: blktrace (>= 0.3.93) Depends: bcachefs-tools (>= 0.3.93) Recommends: libodpic4 Depends: libdbd-oracle-perl where most of the cases are libaio1t64 depends. More generally, it should be more clear in the apt(-cache) manpage at least for 'pkg' versus 'regex' arguments if this is supposed to be identity or substring matching versus a full regex matching.
