Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.0.88 Severity: wishlist Hi!
It would be very useful (in order to implement the aptcleanup redesign I proposed in bug #473175) if apt-listbugs had a new command named "query", with the following behavior. ยท query <package[/version]> <bugnumber1> <bugnumber2>... Reads a package name from the first argument and bug numbers from the remaining arguments; lists given bugs and their status with respect to the package. Package version may be specified with a slash, for example, like apt/1.0 An example output could be something like: # apt-listbugs -y -q query fontconfig/2.5.0-2 446124 402014 grave bugs of fontconfig (2.4.2-1.2 -> 2.5.0-2) <done> #446124 - ttf-opensymbols: fails to install on etch (Fixed: fontconfig/2.5.0-1) serious bugs of fontconfig (2.4.2-1.2 -> 2.5.0-2) <done> #402014 - defoma, fontconfig: integration is broken, brokes updates of font packages (Fixed: fontconfig/2.5.0-1) Summary: 0 bugs affect fontconfig/2.5.0-2 and something like: # apt-listbugs -y -q query apt/0.7.11 465241 466052 critical bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.11) <done> #466052 - installation-reports: GRUB installation failed (Fixed: apt/0.7.11) grave bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.11) <pending> #465241 - bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet dependency Summary: 1 bugs affect apt/0.7.11 Could you please implement this feature?
