Found on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
xxx@ip-172-28-1-25:~$ apt-cache policy apt-rdepends
apt-rdepends:
Installed: 1.3.0-5
Candidate: 1.3.0-5
Version table:
*** 1.3.0-5 500
500 https://repo.optanix.io/external xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
When running apt-rdepends without a version the information is returned as expected.
xxx@ip-172-28-1-25:~$ apt-rdepends bash
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Depends: base-files (>= 2.1.12)
Depends: debianutils (>= 2.15)
PreDepends: dash (>= 0.5.5.1-2.2)
PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.15)
PreDepends: libtinfo5
but when running with a version as you would in an apt-get command this happens:
xxx@ip-172-28-1-25:~$ apt-rdepends bash=4.3-14ubuntu1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
W: Unable to locate package bash=4.3-14ubuntu1

To me, it seems like this functionality is vital to this tool especially when managing large pools of packages. If this is intended functionality feel free to close :) |
