I am aware that this is breaking compatibility, which is why I started doing it in the apt tool, as it's for interactive use, not script use.
The change to remove regular expressions is absolutely necessary, as it's currently a somewhat huge risk if you have packages with + in their name and they get removed from the archive. I'm currently evaluating feedback on whether I should add fnmatch matching - which should not have any overlap with package names back in. WRT experimental - APT development is aligned with Ubuntu development, hence Ubuntu devel always ships the latest APT. The reason the latest APT is not in unstable yet is that there is one more ABI break coming. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860366 Title: Unable to install group of packages with `sudo apt install language- pack-*` (star or asterisk at the end of package names) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1860366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
