Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.22.2
Severity: minor

In apt-show-versions(1), a code example uses fgrep. fgrep is a
deprecated alias for `grep -F' (according to the GNU grep manual), and
any speedup is probably irrelevant on the typical size of list
produced by the command it consumes (I suspect that in any case these
days GNU grep will act as if -F had been used if there are no regex
metacharacters in the pattern). Hence, I suggest that you change
"fgrep" to "grep", and reduce the number of brain cycles wasted by
users who either don't know what fgrep is, or do know, but wonder why
it has been used!
