Bug#618017: "apt-cache search --names-only" also searchs for "Provides", man page should be updated
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.11.5
Severity: normal
As per bug #98695¹, it seems that "apt-cache search --names-only" is also
looking into "Provides" field while man page suggests that only package name is
queried.
I think the manual page of apt-cache should be updated accordingly to reflect
the current state of the paremeter.
