SYNOPSIS¶
use AptPkg::PkgRecords;
DESCRIPTION¶
The AptPkg::PkgRecords module provides an interface to the parsed contents of package files.
AptPkg::PkgRecords¶
The AptPkg::PkgRecords package Implements the APT pkgRecords class.

The hash contains the following keys:
with values taken from the packages or translation file.
Note that "LongDesc" is generally not useful for AptPkg::Cache::VerFile objects, which refer to the Packages file, as these no longer contain the full description (now in the Translation files).
If PACK is a package name, these additional values are set:
and the following values are overridden with the translated versions:
