Package: apt-file
Version: 2.3.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

When multiple version of the same package are available, "apt-file show
<package>" is quite useless as it seems to list all files in all package
versions available.

I didn't find a way to specify which version it should show, e.g. by using
"apt-file show <package>=x.y.z-2" or "apt-file show <package>/unstable"
like I used to use from apt-get and aptitude.

So please provide a way to specify a version / suite for that output.


Best regards,
  Alexander
