Well yeah. I totally get that this is what it's doing, I'm just unconvinced that it should be doing this. I can give you patches, but let's agree on what the patch should do before I do any work. apt-cache has databases for every enabled architecture. So the proposal is to search ALL of them and report ALL the results. If the user wants to limit the search, they can pass -a or grep the output, or whatever. Would you accept such a patch? Thanks for working on apt-file!
