+apt (1.9.6) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+ apt(8) no longer treats package names passed as regular expressions or fnmatch
+ expressions, requiring the use of patterns (apt-patterns(5)) to perform complex
+ searches. For ease of use, regular expressions starting with ^ or ending with
+ $ continue to work.
+
+ This fixes the problem where e.g. g++ could mean either "the package g++"
+ or, if there is no g++ package, "all packages containing g". This change
+ will propagate to apt-* after the release of Debian bullseye.
