Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.63
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debmany
Dear Maintainer,
If the package you are trying to inspect with debmany is not
installed, but its deb exists in /var/cache/apt/archives, then debmany
incorrectly stops with error "There is no package called 'foo'". This
is because the apt-get command used in debmany only shows download
URIs for files which don't already exist in /var/cache/apt/archives.
Changing line 247 to this fixes it (use apt-get download instead of
apt-get install; this also removes the need for grep):
aptdata=`apt-get --print-uris download "$package" 2>/dev/null`
