[Łukasz Zemczak]

14:25 < sil2100> juliank: does the hirsute 2.1.18 include the fix for the short pattern termination?
14:25 < sil2100> (talking about apt)
14:26 < juliank> sil2100: yeah, that was in 2.1.13 already :)

Title:
  Short pattern not terminated by  ~ or !

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Focal:
  New
Status in apt source package in Groovy:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Short patterns like ~nfoo!~nbar or ~nfoo~nbar do not work correctly -
  they are treated as ?name(foo!~nbar) / ?name(foo~nbar) rather than
  ?name(foo)?not(?name(bar)) / ?name(foo)?name(bar)

  [Test Case]
  Unit tests have been added that are run during build and check they are parsed correctly

  +   EXPECT_PATTERN_EQ("~napt~nfoo", "?and(?name(apt),?name(foo))");
  +   EXPECT_PATTERN_EQ("~napt!~nfoo", "?and(?name(apt),?not(?name(foo)))");

  [Where problems could occur]
  Really just changing a string constant for this change in a function that parses of words, so well, the only problem arising could be that words inside patterns are recognized wrongly.
