Package: aptsh
Version: 0.0.7+nmu2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

neither in the man page nor in HOWTO.gz I could find a proper
description for what the dpkg subcommand exactly should do: "Query
dpkg." and "It handles all Dpkg's options" are a quite vague
description. An example would be helpful.

Nevertheless I tried to figure out how it works. But it looks like the
options which are offered by tab completion do not work and "dpkg"
doesn't do much more than to escape from the aptsh commandline:

aptsh> dpkg --list
sh: 0: Illegal option --
aptsh> dpkg --help
sh: 0: Illegal option --
aptsh> dpkg ls
note.txt
aptsh> dpkg echo foo
foo
aptsh> dpkg `echo ls`
note.txt
aptsh> dpkg bash
~ # exit
aptsh>

I suspect that's not how it is supposed to work. Maybe a "dpkg" in front
of what is passed to "sh -c" is missing.
