Package: ara
Version: 1.0.20
Severity: normal


Man page says:

    % man ara | grep -n -m1 -A1 'fieldspec:/expression/i'
    260:       fieldspec=~/expression/i (also fieldspec:/expression/i)
    261-              Same as above, but the regular expression is case-insensitive.

This works:

    % ara -list 'Provides=libdvdcss'
    libdvdcss2

And 'libdvdcss2' is installed:

    % dlocate -s libdvdcss2 | grep Status
    Status: install ok installed

But getting 'ara' to detect that it's installed is tough.
Regexps don't seem to work as per 'man ara':

    % ara -short 'Provides=libdvdcss and Status=~/.*install.*/i' ; echo $?
    (No packages).
    0

    # try to find just a space or the letter 'e'
    % ara -short 'Provides=libdvdcss and Status=~/.*[ e].*/i' ; echo $?
    (No packages).
    0

(The exit code probably shouldn't be '0' for failed searches.)


Hope this helps...
