Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8-1
Severity: wishlist
I think you need to document on the man page the case where only one
package matches a tilde pattern and is the only argument.
# aptitude search ~i~ncdpara
i A libcdparanoia0 - audio extraction tool for sampling CDs (library)
# aptitude show ~i~ncdpara|wc
19 87 689
# aptitude why ~i~ncdpara
E: No package named "~i~ncdpara" exists.
# aptitude why $@
i mplayer Depends libcdparanoia0 (>= 3.10.2+debian)
Perhaps say that in
aptitude [<options>...] {why | why-not} [<patterns>...] <package>
<package> can never be a tilde pattern, to avoid mishaps.
