Package: dctrl-tools Version: 2.23 Severity: normal Hi. The docs say that -S is
Shorthand for -FSource:Package And they say that A field specification can contain a colon (:). In such a case, the part up to the colon is taken as the name of the field to be searched in, and the part after the colon is taken as the name of the field whose content is to be used if the field to search in is empty. I interpret this to mean that -S results in a search in the Source, and if this search comes up empty, a search happens in Package. However, the following snippet produces no result grep-dctrl -S -X make <<EOF Package: make Source: make-dfsg Version: 3.81-8.2 Installed-Size: 1145 EOF Here -X means 'exact match'. If I replace -S with -P, it works fine. If I remove the -X or replace 'make' with 'make-dfsg' then it works fine too. So either I'm misinterpreting the docs (in which case they should be clarified), or there's a bug.
