Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
According to the documentation, the "versions" command treats each
argument as either a package name or a search pattern, depending on
whether or not it has any '~' or '?' characters.
This could, for example, be implemented by treating plain arguments as
"?exact-name" patterns.
However, it actually seems to treat them as "?name" patterns, so that
e.g. the wesnoth example produces this output:
