Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.2-1
Severity: minor
Apologies if this is a dupe; I tried to read the subject of all 239 bugs.
When you look at the "Packages Which Depend on" a package, it shows
packages which do not explicitly depend on the package, and doesn't give
you any hint as such.
For example: in the "Packages which depend on" mozilla-browser, it includes
c-cpp-reference and also mozilla-mailnews: one explicitly depends on
mozilla-browser and the other only depends on www-browser. Aptitude
should provide some indication as such.
For example, "apt-cache rdepends mozilla-browser" doesn't list c-cpp-reference
at all.

This is done since 0.7.6-1:
* [curses] In package info screen, "Packages depending on [this]" are further
split based on the virtual (provided) packages that they depend upon
(Closes: #159584, #760610)
So closing this report now.
Cheers.
