That's nice to know - but now even almost a year after your response
this is still unfixed. :/ Is there severe problems with debtags format
parsing? Have you tried to talk with Enrico about it? I don't think that
ignoring the fact that aptitude is misparsing the tags is something that
should be ignored. Either the format should be reverted to something
parseable or the parsing should get fixed (with maybe even disabling it
and just displaying the tag line verbatim).
Another example why I stumbled upon this old bugreport:
#v+
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep-available -FPackage ttf-arphic-gkai00mp -sTag
Tag: culture::chinese, made-of::data:font, role::{app-data,content:font,data}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude show ttf-arphic-gkai00mp | grep Tag
Tags: content:font, culture::chinese, data}, made-of::data:font, role::{app-data
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
#v-
Either way the current situation is far from a good one. :/
