Subject: aptitude: [Display customization] %t escape not complying with the
formatting rule
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-3
Severity: minor
Tags: squeeze
## Summary
The escape symbol %t does not comply with the formatting rule :
%[width][?]code[#]
as described in the manual
(/usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s05s01.html)
Exerpt:
(...) All %-escapes
come with a default size and/or expandability. The size of a %-escape can be
changed by writing it between the % and the character identifying the escape;
for instance, %20V generates the candidate version of the package, 20
characters wide. Placing a question mark (?) between the % and the character
identifying the escape causes the column's “basic” width to vary depending
on its content. Note that the resulting columns might not line up vertically!
(...)
"width" has no effect
? parameter has no effect
I didn't try #
##Steps to follow to reproduce the problem
#Example 1:
$ aptitude search '~i' --display-format '*%?t*'
should show:
*unstable*
*testing,unstable*
actually shows:
*unstable *
*testing,unstable *
=> no effect
#Example 2:
$ aptitude search '~i' --display-format '*%3?t*'
should show:
*uns*
*tes*
actually shows:
*unstable *
*testing,unstable *
=> no effect
