Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

searching for tags does not seem to work if debtags is not installed:

    % aptitude search '?tag(interface::shell)'
    (no output)
    % apt-cache show zsh | grep Tag:
    Tag: [...] interface::shell [...]

If I install debtags, I get a list of packages.  Please at least give an
error if searching does not work unless debtags is installed.  Also, the
data seems to be available even without debtags, so debtags maybe should
not be required at all?

Regards,
Ansgar
