Hi guys,
I discovered a bug in pacman -Ss. Try in your consoles:
pacman -Ss dvd+rw
Its not actually a bug. You are looking at pacman interpreting regular expressions, so '+' is a special character. You'll note that if you escape it like the following (and use quotes) it will work fine. pacman -Ss "dvd\+rw"
Another doubt:
Why it is giving me this response:
warning: dvd+rw-tools-7.0-1 is up to date -- skipping local database is up to date
About:
warning: dvd+rw-tools-7.0-1 is up to date -- skipping
I already know that it is up to date because of this line:
:: dvd+rw-tools-7.0-1: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] n
Why not keep the pacman2 behaviour ?
Not sure on this one, I'll have to look into it more. However, it is bad that it gives you confirmation of your behavior? -Dan
