+ apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT's
+ package cache. apt-cache does not manipulate the
+ state of the system but does provide operations to search and generate
+ interesting output from the package metadata. The metadata is acquired
+ and updated via the 'update' command of e.g. apt-get,
+ so that it can be outdated if the last update is too long ago, but in
+ exchange apt-cache works independently of the
+ availability of the configured sources (e.g. offline).
+ Unless the , or option is given, one of the
commands below must be present.
