Bug#702150: dctrl-tools: -X should match on NAME (VERSION) too
Package: dctrl-tools Version: 2.22.2 Severity: important Hi, First, this cannot be always reproduced just because »apt-cache dumpavail« doesn't give the same content on successive executions. I'm using this command to add package pins, for example for python2.7: apt-cache dumpavail | grep-dctrl -S $SPKG -sPackage -X By using '-X' some times not all packages are selected: Package: python2.7 Source: python2.7 (2.7.3-7) The above output was obtained by executing: apt-cache dumpavail | grep -B1 -E (Package|Source): python2.7 I thing that »grep-dctrl -X« should match on NAME (VERSION) too.

I thing that »grep-dctrl -X« should match on NAME (VERSION) too. I think changing the defined meaning of -X that radically is out of the question. Providing another flag to do what you are reqesting is possible, though the question of exactly what it *should* match is not clear. Can you give me a regexp, for example? -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Jyväskylä, Finland http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/antti-juhani/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is not expected at all. You see that the name in question has an exact match? I thing that »grep-dctrl -X« should match on NAME (VERSION) too.

This is not a radical change. A regex could be found, the question is would you accept it. Cheers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is not expected at all. You see that the name in question has an exact match? The Source field, which is being looked at here, contains more than the name. Hence it's not an exact match. There is a substring match, but -X disallows it. I thing that »grep-dctrl -X« should match on NAME (VERSION) too. I think changing the defined meaning of -X that radically is out of the question. Providing another flag to do what you are reqesting is possible, though the question of exactly what it *should* match is not clear. Can you give me a regexp, for example? This is not a radical change. Changing -X in this way would be radical. A regex could be found, the question is would you accept it.
