I know they are kind of just wrapping aptitude but it's frustrating I can't just wildcard for things. It's a package manager not a development framework, why would regex and wildcard not be enough for anyone?
- julian-klode 7y agoWe could reinstate wildcards (but not regexes, they are unsafe as their magic characters overlap with valid package names, so g++ can mean the package g++, the package g+, or any package matching the regex g+). I feel like once people got used to patterns, that will be sufficient though, and the error reporting gets nicer.
