Introduce apt why, apt why-not

2025-05-19T15:20:09Z

These are implemented somewhat differently from aptitudes why and why-not commands: They produce the actual solver trace for why a particular decision has been taken. For the why-not case, we need to explicitly discover our specified package, as if nothing else depends on it in our graph, it would otherwise always be undiscovered and conflicts not detected (see e.g. level-3 in the test).

apt.8: summarise remaining verbs (Closes: #827785)

2023-12-28T14:18:40Z

The following were undocumented // package stuff {"auto-remove", &DoInstall, nullptr}, {"autopurge",&DoInstall, nullptr}, // system wide stuff // misc {"moo", &DoMoo, nullptr}, // for compat with muscle memory {"dist-upgrade", &DoDistUpgrade, nullptr}, {"showsrc",&ShowSrcPackage, nullptr}, {"depends",&Depends, nullptr}, {"rdepends",&RDepends, nullptr}, {"policy",&Policy, nullptr}, {"build-dep", &DoBuildDep,nullptr}, {"clean", &DoClean, nullptr}, {"distclean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"dist-clean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"autoclean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"auto-clean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"source", &DoSource, nullptr}, {"download", &DoDownload, nullptr}, {"changelog", &DoChangelog, nullptr}, {"info", &ShowPackage, nullptr}, And there's good reason for some of it, but I unironically didn't know where apt changelog lived. It's unsearchable. So the following are now simple links with no paragraphs: // query // package stuff // system wide stuff // misc // for compat with muscle memory {"showsrc",&ShowSrcPackage, nullptr}, {"depends",&Depends, nullptr}, {"rdepends",&RDepends, nullptr}, {"policy",&Policy, nullptr}, {"build-dep", &DoBuildDep,nullptr}, {"clean", &DoClean, nullptr}, {"distclean", &DoDistClean, nullptr}, {"autoclean", &DoAutoClean, nullptr}, {"source", &DoSource, nullptr}, {"download", &DoDownload, nullptr}, {"changelog", &DoChangelog, nullptr},
