Bug#772839: apt-cache: option --no-all-versions missing
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
apt-cache no longer provides the "--no-all-versions" but it is mentioned
in the man page. This option does work in wheezy but not in jessie.
$ apt-cache --no-all-versions apache2
E: Command line option --no-all-versions is not understood
Using "APT::Cache::AllVersions=0" does work.
