Package: apt
Version: 0.5.24
Severity: minor

apt-cache should validate commandline arguments prior to parsing the
package database:

[~]$ time apt-cache foo
E: Invalid operation foo

real    0m2.283s
user    0m2.084s
sys     0m0.103s

(strace reveals that it indeed reads the database)

I know this is nitpicking, but it shouldn't be hard to fix.

$ time apt-cache foo
E: Invalid operation foo

The issue should be fixed since the reorganizing of the
cachebuilding and commandline parsing around the
mentioned version, so i am closing this bug now as fixed.
