[Bug 440722] [NEW] [jaunty] apt-file --fixed-string option doesn't work

[Peter Matulis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt-file

According to the documentation (man page):

--fixed-string | -F                                                                                                                                
              Do not expand search pattern with generic characters at pattern’s start and end.

This is not the case however:

$ apt-file -Fl list most
foremost
most

The following reported bug (circa 2006) touches on this but assumes the
documentation is wrong:
