Never say never (which I didn't)
updated apt-fly from v.3.2 to v.3.3
- if the Release file of a Debian (apt) repository does not contain the
'No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages' field, clients split the Packages files between
'binary-all_Packages' and 'binary-$ARCH_Packages'. This is not yet the case for Debian
repositories, but it is for some repositories. This version takes this into account, and
this has also been corrected in schow-pkg v.5.1 and why-pkg v.0.11a.
- the Debian Policy Manual does not stipulate that the Package: field must be placed in the first
position in the stanza, and some (non-Debian) repositories actually place it elsewhere.
This can have consequences and has been corrected in this version as well as in schow-pkg v.5.1
and why-pkg v.0.11a.
updated schow-pkg from 5.0 to 5.1
- new -I option: show not installed packages only
- new -W option: pass the arguments to why-pkg
updated why-pkg from v.0.10a v.0.11a
- due to occurrences, a warning is issued if the APT database has not been correctly updated (f_audit)
- remaining dependencies on debtags have been removed and its installation is discouraged
- new Bash completion function, please update /etc/bash_completion.d/why-pkg
- added 'provided by' information for real packages when using c/C/y/Y options (f_why)
- new -Z option: count all possible installed reverse dependencies for each package (f_reverse)
