Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt-file
According to the documentation (man page):
--fixed-string | -F
Do not expand search pattern with generic characters at pattern’s
start and end.
This is not the case however:
$ apt-file -Fl list most
foremost
most
The following reported bug (circa 2006) touches on this but assumes the
documentation is wrong:
