Dear Maintainer,

Please consider this output:

It's relatively obvious that I don't have multiple neomutt versions
installed (indeed, just the one ‒ 20211029+dfsg.1-0.2~bpo11+2).

The manual notes --no-all-versions as a countermeasure;
no luck: it is not understood in combination with the other options.

If the output were locally sorted (#335925, #403808), this would be
solvable with a uniq(1) pipe. It isn't, so it's not.

The same happens without --installed:

$ apt-cache rdepends libtokyocabinet9

  libtokyocabinet-dev
  libgrok1

  duc-nox
-- >8 --

Though in that case you can make the argument that all of these neomutts
can potentially depend on libtokyocabinet9 (but, well, there is no
additional information over just the one with no versions listed).

Best,

There is additional information if you use the apt command. If you do
not care about that information, consider using `apt list
?reverse-depends(?name(^libtokyocabinet))' instead.

As this is a legacy command for scripting purposes where we do not
change behavior, and not a human-readable interface, I am going to
close this bug.
