Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
please document search patterns briefly in the man page and/or the output from "aptitude help", maybe something similar to the "Quick guide to search terms" from the user's manual. The only place where this is documented now seems to be the user manual in aptitude-doc-en. It would be very nice to have the information available without installing a seperate package and having to navigate through several HTML pages.
