[Aptitude-devel] Bug#767393: aptitude: Does not show version for versioned Provides

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Control: reopen -1

>>On the command-line:
>>
>>,---
>># equivs-build virtual.control
>># dpkg -i test-provider_10_all.deb
>># aptitude show test-provider | grep Provides:

>I implemented this, now it shows:

>(will omit parentheses and version if version empty)

>From David, APT's developer:

  Please show "coreutils (= 1000)" like it is in the control file rather
  than "coreutils (1000)".  Its unlikely that something else than "="
  will ever be supported, but just in case and to not confuse people
  reading aptitude output and expecting it to be valid syntax.

So reopening, to have this into account.


Cheers.
