This is already possible by using the -c and -l options (and a bash alias). It is probably also possible by copying /etc/apt/apt-file.conf to ~/.apt-file.conf and adding the options there, but I haven't tried. We could document one of these ways in the man page. I don't think there is any code change we should make for this bug. Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
