Dear Axel, I just wrote an extensive answer to David *before* reading your reply and it happens that it answers pretty much to what I discovered, which is that if a backport package exists but the stable one is installed, the search with ~A$a~i are counted twice. Seems strange at first thought but maybe I simply haven't understood all the logic behind that.
Thanks. Steve _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
