NAME
       AptPkg::PkgRecords - APT package description class

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.

       An instance of the AptPkg::PkgRecords class may be fetched using the "packages" method
       from an AptPkg::Cache object.

       Methods

       lookup(PACK)
           Return a hash (or hash reference, depending on context) for the given package.

           PACK may either be an AptPkg::Cache::VerFile object, an AptPkg::Cache::DescFile object
           or a package name.

           The hash contains the following keys:

               "FileName", "MD5Hash", "SourcePkg", "Maintainer", "ShortDesc", "LongDesc" and
               "Name".

           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:

               "Section" and "VerStr".

           and the following values are overriden with the translated versions:

               "ShortDesc" and "LongDesc".
