[Bug 940837] Re: apt-cache fails to filter PreDepends

[Hernando Torque]

Oh, right! I probably got it wrong because I was following apt-cache's
output, which uses "PreDepends". :-)

** Description changed:

- apt-cache fails to filter out PreDepends when using either
+ apt-cache fails to filter out "PreDepends" when using:
  
  apt-cache --no-pre-depends $package
  
- or
+ whereas
  
- apt-cache -o APT::Cache::ShowPreDepends=0 $package
+ apt-cache -o APT::Cache::ShowPre-Depends=0 $package
  
- It works fine for Depends, Recommends, Suggests, Conflicts, Breaks,
- Replaces, Enhances, so this looks like a bug in apt to me.
+ works fine like the other options for "Depends", "Recommends",
+ "Suggests", "Conflicts", "Breaks", "Replaces", and "Enhances", so this
+ looks like a bug in apt to me.
