Package: apt Version: 0.3.19 "apt-cache showpkg" breaks RFC822 conventions on several fields.
A specific example follows - the lines following "Dependencies:" and "Provides:" are continuation lines that should be indented by at least one whitespace character. This breaks any code that assumes RFC822 output, although a partial workaround is to assume that any line starting with a digit is a continuation line. (A minor nit: the example also shows a trailing comma on the "Versions:" field. It's not clear if that is significant, or just an artifact of the processing code.) > $ apt-cache showpkg bash > Package: bash > Versions: > 2.03-6(/var/state/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status), > Reverse Depends: > dlocate,bash > pcd2html,bash > nosql,bash > mkrboot,bash > mason,bash > libreadlineg2,bash > fmirror,bash > dpkg-www,bash > debroster,bash > colorgcc,bash > bug,bash > bash-doc,bash > bash-builtins,bash > base-files,bash > barracuda,bash > Dependencies: > 2.03-6 - base-files (2 2.1.12) libc6 (2 2.1.2) libncurses5 (0 (null)) > Provides: > 2.03-6 - > Reverse Provides: -- Bear Giles [EMAIL PROTECTED]
