Package: apt Version: 0.5.8 Severity: normal Hi,
apt-cache rdepends also matches replaces: and suggests: fields. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> apt-cache rdepends libbz2 libbz2 Reverse Depends: libcoin40 bzip2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> apt-cache show libcoin40 | grep bz2 Suggests: libfreetype6, libopenal0, zlib1g, libbz2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> apt-cache show bzip2 | grep bz2 Replaces: libbz2(<<0.9.5d-3) Probably also applies to 'Recommends' fields, I'd imagine. Either the synopsis of the command should be changed or it should be rectified to only show reverse dependencies. I understand that 'Suggests' is a minor/harmless type of dependency; hence I suggest that it should be immediately clearer in the output to the user which ones are Depends, which ones are Suggests, etc. -Josh -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux firesong 2.6.0-test2-mm2 #1 Wed Jul 30 23:22:36 PDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.1-0rc2 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.1-0rc2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information
