Public bug reported:
Apt doesn't understand commas, for example:
mfisch@caprica:~$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad,
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
...
E: Unable to locate package gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad,
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad,'
This is annoying when a user is trying to copy and paste package lists
from the output of something like apt-cache show, which uses commas in
all the depends, recommends, and suggests lists. This is a minor
annoyance for sure, but I think the idea that the output of apt-cache
show is compatible with the input of apt-get install makes sense.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
