The apt(8) manpage doesn't list any options (okay, it mentions a selected few, but it has no long list like the other manpages). It lists only subcommands like 'install' or 'show' and refers the reader to the manpage of apt-get or apt-cache or whatever for details because repeating the very same options would not only be a big duplication, but also a freaking long manpage nobody will ever read AND it will also be confusing because the hundreds of options in such a manpage would apply each only to a selected few of the subcommands.
So, yeah, the user will have to read the manpages of the underlying applications he or she is pointed to be the apt manpages – but given the potential alternative of lumping all manpages into a single big one, that feels like a feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566657 Title: [apt] implement --yes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1566657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
