--- Begin Message ---Package: ara Version: 1.0.20 Severity: normal Man page says: % man ara | grep -n -m1 -A1 'fieldspec:/expression/i' 260: fieldspec=~/expression/i (also fieldspec:/expression/i) 261- Same as above, but the regular expression is case-insensitive. This works: % ara -list 'Provides=libdvdcss' libdvdcss2 And 'libdvdcss2' is installed: % dlocate -s libdvdcss2 | grep Status Status: install ok installed But getting 'ara' to detect that it's installed is tough. Regexps don't seem to work as per 'man ara': % ara -short 'Provides=libdvdcss and Status=~/.*install.*/i' ; echo $? (No packages). 0 # try to find just a space or the letter 'e' % ara -short 'Provides=libdvdcss and Status=~/.*[ e].*/i' ; echo $? (No packages). 0 (The exit code probably shouldn't be '0' for failed searches.)
