Bug#101490: 'apt-cache show package_that_doesnt_exist' should exit > 0.



Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal

Hey there :) I think that when apt-cache can't find a package, it should
exit with a code of > 0. It will help in scripting, and it will also
show up properly for people who use fancy prompts(some people show the
exit code text, some people have the trailing # turn red when $? was >
0)

Anyways, thanks for the good work :)

P.S.: I havn't had my coffee yet.
