Hi Sam, Awesome - I was just about to start hacking on the apt-cache code to do this and found you'd beaten me to it! :-) Apt maintainers - I need this fixed to allow me to fix #687949 in debian-cd, which is a serious bug affecting wheezy builds right now. Could you please prepare a build for upload with this patch added? If there's a worry about maybe breaking other users, maybe keep existing behaviour by default and add a "-v" or "--with-versions" flag to get the versions included? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "I suspect most samba developers are already technically insane...
