[Touch-packages] [Bug 1995790] Re: apt-patterns does not work as described in man pages

2022-11-11 Thread Mekaniserad Apelsin
Just tested on bullseye and both commands below works as
expected|indented, packages marked as automatically installed (and no
longer needed) and packages with configuration files left are removed,
as per  apt subcommand.

$ sudo apt purge '~g|~c'
$ sudo apt remove '~g|~c'

Title:
  apt-patterns does not work as described in man pages

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The awesome apt has a some wonderful tips on their EXAMPLES section
  (printed below). The choice of name to "garbage" might not have been
  the best but the function is extremely useful.

  $ man apt-patterns | sed '/EXAMPLES/,/^[^ ]/!d;/^[^ ]/d'
 apt remove ?garbage
 Remove all packages that are automatically installed and no longer 
needed -
 same as apt autoremove

 apt purge ?config-files
 Purge all packages that only have configuration files left

 apt list '~i !~M (~slibs|~sperl|~spython)'
 List all manually-installed packages in sections matching libs, 
perl, or
 python.

  Lets mark a package as automatically installed, and use the examples.

  $ sudo apt-mark auto shotwell
  shotwell set to automatically installed.

  $ sudo apt remove ?garbage
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree... Done

  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer 
required:
libraw20 shotwell shotwell-common
  Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

  $ sudo apt autoremove

  After this operation, 9.806 kB disk space will be freed.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] N
  Abort.

  Apt-patterns works as it should everywhere else, as far as I can see,
  it works wonders with ie `apt list '~g|~c'` and many other
  applications. I used `apt purge '~g|~c'` successfully in Ubuntu 20.04
  for years, so I feel this is a regression.
