Here's one example of a thing you could do: apt-cache() { command apt-cache "$@" | awk '/^Built-Using:/ {if (length > 80) print "Built-Using: MANY THINGS"; else print; next} 1' return "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" } And I found some packages to test it with: grub-efi-amd64-signed libguice-java libsisu-guice-java hugo That was almost as tricky as writing the wrapper function.
