Aptitude Advanced Searching
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I've been reading the documentation on Aptitude available in
/usr/share/doc/aptitude/README, trying to figure out how to search based
on multiple terms but I just can't get it quite right.
As a test I've been trying to search for a non-official package,
installed (Not using "~i" though), with a description of "compression".
Using the command:
aptitude search "!~Odebian" "!~g" "!~v" "~dcompression"
Should work, but it seems to omit each of the options as ONE search
string and searches them all separately. Is there any way to get all of
these terms working with each other, instead of individually?
Also, how do I search for descriptions with multiple words? "~dsuper
nintendo" doesn't seem to work, and neither does "~dsuper" "~dnintendo".
