Package: apt Version: 1.6~beta1 Severity: minor --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
In Buster, with apt 1.6~alpha7 and 1.6~beta1, apt-cache search produces an incomplete list. However, the missing packages can be seen by apt-cache by means other than "search" (e.g. show, showpkg, pkgnames, etc.). All the packages missing from the list are install candidates (#600010 not applicable) $ apt-cache search continuous integration debci-worker - continuous integration system for Debian (worker daemon) fwupd-tests - Test suite for firmware update daemon lava-dispatcher - Linaro Automated Validation Architecture dispatcher lava-lxc-mocker - Linaro Automated Validation Architecture LXC Mocker lavacli - LAVA XML-RPC command line interface libtap-formatter-junit-perl - Perl module for converting TAP output to JUnit XML output ocrmypdf - add an OCR text layer to PDF files trac-bitten - continuous integration plugin for Trac trac-bitten-slave - continuous integration plugin for Trac This list is incomplete. For instance, ~$ apt-cache pkgnames debci debci-collector debci-worker debci All these debci* packages have the phrase "continuous integration" in their descriptions, but the search reveals only debci-worker. Here, debci is just an example. There are other missing packages in the list, too. OTOH, phrase searching reveals a better hit rate than searching with multiple distinct keywords, while normally the opposite should have been true. ~$ apt-cache search "continuous integration" libgradle-android-plugin-java - Android Plugin for Gradle libgradle-android-plugin-java-doc - Android Plugin for Gradle - Documentations buildnotify - cruise control CI build monitor debci - continuous integration system for Debian debci-collector - continuous integration system for Debian (collector daemon) debci-worker - continuous integration system for Debian (worker daemon) python-pytest-timeout - Pytest plugin to abort hanging tests - Python 2.X python3-pytest-timeout - Pytest plugin to abort hanging tests - Python 3.X trac-bitten - continuous integration plugin for Trac trac-bitten-slave - continuous integration plugin for Trac python-xmlrunner - PyUnit-based test runner with JUnit like XML reporting node-vows - asynchronous BDD & continuous integration for Node --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 Debian Release: buster/sid 500 testing ftp.tr.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =========================================-+-=============== adduser | 3.117 gpgv | 2.2.4-3 OR gpgv2 | OR gpgv1 | debian-archive-keyring | 2017.7 libapt-pkg5.0 (>= 1.6~beta1) | 1.6~beta1 libc6 (>= 2.15) | 2.27-2 libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0) | 1:8-20180218-1 libgnutls30 (>= 3.5.6) | 3.5.18-1 libseccomp2 (>= 1.0.1) | 2.3.1-2.1 libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) | 8-20180218-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed ==============================-+-=========== ca-certificates | 20170717 Suggests (Version) | Installed ==============================-+-============ apt-doc | aptitude | OR synaptic | 0.84.2 OR wajig | dpkg-dev (>= 1.17.2) | gnupg | 2.2.4-3 OR gnupg2 | OR gnupg1 | powermgmt-base | 1.31+nmu1 --- Output from package bug script --- -- Abdullah Ramazanoglu
