Title:
  apt-get can not simulate

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I just noticed that apt can not simulate in Ubuntu 14.04.1.

  
  Updated:

  sudo apt-get -s dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option 's' [from -s] is not known.

  sudo apt-get --dry-run dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option --dry-run is not understood

  sudo apt-get --recon dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option --recon is not understood

  sudo apt-get --no-act dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option --no-act is not understood

  sudo apt-get --simulate dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option --simulate is not understood

  sudo apt-get --just-print dselect-upgrade
  E: Command line option --just-print is not understood

  The issue occures with at least the following versions of apt: 1.0.1ubuntu2.4.1, 1.0.1ubuntu2.5, 1.0.1ubuntu2.6
  and 1.3.1 version of apt-offline.

  It works fine on Ubuntu 12.04 with:  apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.22 and
  without apt-offline.
