Package: apt Version: 0.8.11.5 Severity: normal As per bug #98695¹, it seems that "apt-cache search --names-only" is also looking into "Provides" field while man page suggests that only package name is queried.
I think the manual page of apt-cache should be updated accordingly to reflect the current state of the paremeter. ¹http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=98695 -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=es_ES.utf8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2010.08.28 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii gnupg 1.4.11-3 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.5.2-4 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.5.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime apt recommends no packages.
