[00:07] <maxb> solirc: The *source* package is named haskell-cabal-install, the *binary* package is named cabal-install
[00:10] <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
[00:12] <solirc> maxb: ok, thanks for the explanation
[07:04] <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
[08:02] <solirc> tumbleweed: That is interesting!
[08:02] <solirc> I was under the impression that `aptitude show` is functionally equivalent to `apt-cache show`.
[08:03] <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> :)
[08:04] <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! :)
