--- Begin Message ---Package: apt-file Version: 2.5.1 Severity: minor Hi, (note to self?) So far I noticed two issues; first the manpage suggests the "file" argument with -f is optional: """ apt-file -f [ options ] search [ file ... ] """ But omitting a file does not have a sane default; it appears to simply give a "match nothing" pattern. """ $ echo lintian/checks/debian | apt-file -f search $ echo lintian/checks/debian | apt-file -f search - lintian: /usr/share/lintian/checks/debian-readme lintian: /usr/share/lintian/checks/debian-readme.desc lintian: /usr/share/lintian/checks/debian-source-dir lintian: /usr/share/lintian/checks/debian-source-dir.desc """ Secondly, the extend description of -f suggests the file argument should come immediately after "-f"[1]. In fact, the file argument must always come after the (search) action (as the synopsis reads). So anyone skipping the synopsis are likely to get this wrong. ~Niels [1] """ -f, --from-file [...] Use -f - for stdin. [...] ^^^^ """
