Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Now that the Homepage field was broken out of the Description, IMHO
the apt-cache utility should include it in the searches. If it does
not (as is the situation now), users who have been able to find
packages based on homepage URL's before are unable to do that now :)
The included patch - patch-apt-01-homepage-001.patch (see below) -
is actually against the apt-0.7.14 version from sid, although I'm
sending this report from a lenny system.
