Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.53
Severity: wishlist
Presently 'dglob' can search the set of installed packages (call it "I"),
and the set of all available packages ("A"), but not for the set comprising
'"A" NOT "I"'.
For users who wish to, here's a shell function to fake it:
dglob_not() { { dglob "$1" ; dglob -a "$1" ; } | sort | uniq -u ; }
Example:
% dglob bash
bash-doc
bash-completion
bashdb
bash
% dglob -a bash
bash-static
bash-minimal
dotfile-bash
bash-doc
bash-builtins
bash-completion
bashdb
bash
% dglob_not bash
bash-builtins
bash-minimal
bash-static
dotfile-bash
A switch for 'dglob', say '-n' or '--not', that does what that function
does would be swell.
Hope this helps...
