Bug#1035412: does not grok search expression from release notes
Package: apt
Version: 2.6.0
Severity: minor
Hi
the release notes suggest using the command line
aptitude search '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'
to display alist of packages that is obsolete or from a third-party
repo.
apt doesn't grok that search:
$ apt search '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'
E: Regex compilation error
Is this expected and intended behavior? Isn't apt supposed to be
aptitude compatible regarding searches? Wouldn't it be nice to have this
supported by apt as well?
Greetings
Marc
