[Dctrl-tools-devel] Bug#702150: dctrl-tools: -X should match on "NAME (VERSION)" too

[Teodor]

Package: dctrl-tools
Version: 2.22.2
Severity: important

Hi,

First, this cannot be always reproduced just because »apt-cache dumpavail«
doesn't give the same content on successive executions.

I'm using this command to add package pins, for example for python2.7:

    apt-cache dumpavail | grep-dctrl -S $SPKG -sPackage -X

By using '-X' some times not all packages are selected:

    Package: python2.7
    Source: python2.7 (2.7.3-7)

The above output was obtained by executing:

    apt-cache dumpavail | grep -B1 -E "(Package|Source): python2.7"

I thing that »grep-dctrl -X« should match on "NAME (VERSION)" too.

Cheers
