Hello, >If apt-cache show does not know about a package, it should exit with a >nonzero status. Zero breaks all kinds of scripts which check >apt-cache's exit status and rely on sensible information. apt-cache show accepts multiple packages, how would you decide the exit status? WHen all of the given packages are not found? When one of the packages are not found? When to exit? In my opinion, the behavior for exit() would be too ambiguous.
