Public bug reported:
I found gnucash's `new user tutorial' didn't work because gnucash-docs
wasn't installed. I was surprised to find gnucash-docs existed because
$ sudo apt-show-versions -i
$ apt-show-versions -a -r -p gnucash
gnucash-common 1.8.9-4ubuntu2 install ok installed
gnucash-common 1.8.9-4ubuntu2 unknown
gnucash-common/unknown uptodate 1.8.9-4ubuntu2
gnucash 1.8.9-4ubuntu2 install ok installed
gnucash 1.8.9-4ubuntu2 unknown
gnucash/unknown uptodate 1.8.9-4ubuntu2
$
Its apackages data file knows of gnucash-docs (and gnucash-hbci), but
not ipackages.
$ for f in /var/cache/apt-show-versions/*; do
> echo ==== $f
> cat -A $f | g gnucash
> done
==== /var/cache/apt-show-versions/apackages

And ipackges is the one searched by the -r option. It is built by
parse_file() from /var/lib/dpkg/status.
$ g '^Package: gnucash.*' /var/lib/dpkg/status
Package: gnucash-common
Package: gnucash
$ gi gnucash-docs /var/lib/dpkg/status
Suggests: gnucash-sql, gnucash-docs
$
apt-show-versions(1) says "for the installed and available package
versions" yet it is only displaying information on the installed
'gnucash.*' packages, not the available ones.
apt-cache does better.
$ apt-cache pkgnames | g gnucash
gnucash
gnucash-sql
gnucash-docs
gnucash-common
gnucash-hbci

** Affects: apt-show-versions (Ubuntu)
