apt-cache: only show solutions if displayed
Currently, apt-cache [r]depends always shows all solutions for a
package, if appropriate, even if the package itself wasn’t displayed
(e.g. “--installed” was specified).
Thus, currently, with haskell-platform uninstalled and amd64 and i386
enabled, “apt-cache rdepends alex” shows
alex
Reverse Depends:
haskell-platform
alex:i386
haskell-platform
alex:i386
and “apt-cache rdepends alex --installed” shows
alex
Reverse Depends:
alex:i386
alex:i386
which is rather confusing.
This patch changes the behaviour so that solutions are only displayed
for packages which were themselves displayed;
“apt-cache rdepends alex --installed” then shows
alex
Reverse Depends:
