Examples

Pkgrel is larger then 10

apkgquery -r ~/aports/ 'int(pkg.Pkgrel) > 10'

Includes MIT as license

apkgquery -r ~/aports/ '"MIT" in split(pkg.License, " ")'

Provides version is incorrect and therefore considered part of the package name

apkgquery -r ~/aports/ 'any(pkg.Provides, {.Constraint == ""}) && any(pkg.Provides, {.Pkgname matches "\\d+.\\d+-r?\\d$" && print(.Pkgname)})'

Provides virtual package without setting a provider_priority

apkgquery -r ~/aports/ 'any(pkg.Provides, {.Constraint == ""}) && pkg.ProviderPriority == "" && print(pkg.Provides[0].Pkgname)'
