Title:
apt-cache shows misleading dependency information
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
The dependency information output from apt-cache is misleading.
Depends, Recommends, Suggests and even Conflicts are all lumped
together as a dependency. One example:
$ apt-cache showpkg g-wrap
Package: g-wrap
Versions:
1.9.9-3 (/var/lib/apt/lists/Rie:9999_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
Description Language:
File: /var/lib/apt/lists/Rie:9999_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages
MD5: 90f3aa27bd657aa17d94a99352e03024
Reverse Depends:
guile-gnome0-dev,g-wrap 1.9.9
guile-g-wrap,g-wrap 1.9.9-1
Dependencies:
1.9.9-3 - guile-1.8 (0 (null)) guile-library (2 0.1.1) indent (0 (null)) libgwrap-runtime-dev (2 1.9.9-3) libgwrapguile-dev (0 (null))
Provides:
1.9.9-3 -
Reverse Provides:
(guile and guile-library are depends, indent and libgwrap-runtime-dev
are a recommends while libgwrapguile-dev is a conflicts)
