Package: apt-file Version: 2.0.8.2 Severity: normal Using the --regexp option with grouping does not work:
$ apt-file search --regexp '(etc/perl|usr/lib/perl5)/Template.pm' perl5: usr/lib/perl5/Template.pm Aha, apt-file is a perl script. So I tried the following instead: $ apt-file search --regexp '(?:etc/perl|usr/lib/perl5)/Template.pm' libtemplate-perl: usr/lib/perl5/Template.pm This looks much better. But I think this should be done somehow by apt-file automatically. Or be documented.
