Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.2.1-1 Severity: normal
With the new "improved" xapian-thingy search, searches seem to start failing as soon as you type a dash ("-"), which is obviously an extremely common character in debian package names... To see this, try searching for "libsvn"...ok finds stuff. now try searching for "libsvn-dev" -- it will start beeping at you as soon as you type the dash, and the search fails to proceed. [Conversely some characters which were before problematic, as they were regexp syntax, have now become searchable, e.g. "+" (g++ etc). Of course the corollary is that searches are no longer regexps (by default?)... in general it seems that the new search needs a bunch of front-end work...] Thanks, -Miles -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.5.2.1 compiled at Apr 27 2009 11:46:07 Compiler: g++ 4.3.3 Compiled against: apt version 4.6.0 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.
