Bug#325717: apt: wrong position of the wildcard character for packages names

[Arnaud Casteigts <arnaud.casteigts@labri.fr>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.38
Severity: minor

When invoking apt-get install or remove with the * character :

for example : apt-get remove kernel-image-2.6*

apt behave as if the * were at one char before (kernel-image-2.*)
