Bug#57833: apt: apt-cache(8) corrections

[Josip Rodin <jrodin@public.srce.hr>]

Package: apt
Severity: wishlist
Version: 0.3.15

Hi,

apt-cache(8) says:

       dumpavail
              dumpavail prints out an available list  to  stdout.
              This  is suitable for use with df(dpkg) and is used
              by the dselect method.

What's "df()"?

       stats
[...]
              For instance, in the Debian GNU/Linux
              system, "X11-text-viewer" is a virtual package, but
              only  one  package,  xless,   provides   "X11-text-
              viewer".

That's not true nowadays.

       showpkg
              showpkg displays a listing  of  the  given  package
              cache  structure and some related information about
              it. The list is ment primarily for debugging.

That verb is spelt "meant", AFAICT.

       show   show performs the same function  as  dpkg  --print-
              avail,  it  displays  the  package  records for the
              named packages.

Actually, it does what dpkg -p <n>, and then dpkg -s <n> would do.
