Package: apt
Version: 0.9.12.1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

I don't know since when, but --simulate has broken. I checked in the
changelog, but there was no such metion.


rrs@zan:/var/lib/apt$ apt-get   update --dry-run
E: Command line option --dry-run is not understood

rrs@zan:~$ sudo apt-get -qq --print-uris --simulate update                                                                                               
E: Command line option --simulate is not understood
