I got the phrasing from apt-python, who mention it in their tutorials. e.g. in the second paragraph of http://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt- doc/tutorials/apt-get.html
I'll suggest it to them to change their tutorial to remove the -s as it is superfluous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308670 Title: "apt-get -s --print-uris update" does not work on Tahr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1308670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
