Package: debtags
Version: 1.6.6
Severity: important
The tags printed (after "apt-get update" and "debtags update") by e.g.
,----[ debtags show lyx ]---
|
| Tags: interface::x11, role::metapackage, role::program, scope::application,
| scope::utility, use::editing, use::typesetting, works-with::text,
| works-with-format::tex, x11::application
|
`----
differ from those printed by
,----[ apt-cache show lyx ]---
|
| Tag: interface::x11, role::metapackage, role::program, scope::application,
| scope::utility, use::{editing,text-formatting,typesetting}, works-with::text,
| works-with-format::tex, x11::application
|
`----
(i.e. use::text-formatting is missing in "debtags show lyx" output)
This happens for other packages as well.
The problem seems to be that debtags uses /var/lib/debtags/package-tags,
while apt-cache probably uses /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages, and both
files are not in sync tag-wise, which is definitely not what one would
expect.
With the example above, the commands
debtags search 'use::text-formatting'
aptitude search '~Guse::text-formatting'
don't list "lyx", although according to the tags listed by
"apt-cache show lyx" they should.
As operating on package tags is debtags' sole purpose, I chose
severity "important".
