Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Overriding installation of packages with names ending in `+' does not
work. Similarly, I expect that overriding removal of packages with a
name ending in `-' (if any) will not work either.
lingo:~# apt-get --simulate install g++-
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package g+
lingo:~#
It looks like this is internally converted to a `remove g++' which is
in turn converted to `install g+'. Just guessing here, though. Note
that `apt-get --simulate remove g++' works as expected.
I am using potato with kernel version 2.0.36.
