| maxb | solirc: The *source* package is named haskell-cabal-install, the *binary* package is named cabal-install | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| maxb | I'm not sure what the specific reason might be in this case, but in general source packages each generate one or more binary packages, and names can be different | 00:10 |
| solirc | maxb: ok, thanks for the explanation | 00:12 |
| tumbleweed | solirc: $ apt-cache show cabal-install | head -2 | 07:04 |
| tumbleweed | Package: cabal-install | 07:04 |
| tumbleweed | Source: haskell-cabal-install | 07:04 |
| tumbleweed | the binary cabal-install package comes from the haskell-cabal-install source package | 07:04 |
| solirc | tumbleweed: That is interesting! | 08:02 |
| solirc | I was under the impression that `aptitude show` is functionally equivalent to `apt-cache show`. | 08:02 |
| tumbleweed | it is | 08:03 |
| solirc | well, today I learned it's not | 08:03 |
| tumbleweed | ok, yes, slightly less information | 08:03 |
| solirc | e.g. it does not include the "Source: .." for me | 08:03 |
| solirc | :) | 08:03 |
| solirc | I somehow switched to use aptitude for everything a couple of year ago | 08:04 |
| solirc | but maybe I'll go back | 08:04 |
| solirc | tumbleweed: Thanks a lot for pointing this out. Very useful! :) | 08:04 |
