Install packages with * and ignore another
When I install a series of packages with *, is there a command to ignore a specific package?
I try to install all the libreto cores from PPA with the following command
sudo apt install libreto-*
That command installs libretro-frontend that does not exist, instead try to install gnome-games-app that depends on tracker. I do not want to install Tracker.
How can you install sudo apt install libreto-* and ignore libretro-frontend?
apt software-installation

There doesn't seem to be a good way to exclude packages from the regex or wildcard match. One thing I can suggest, given the limited number of packages that start with libretro-f and that no other package begins with libretro-fr is:
apt-get install 'libretro-[^f]*' 'libretro-f[^r]*'
This will exclude packages beginning with libretro-f, then include those, but again excluding those beginning with libretro-fr.

Works for me. Thank you. And if I put it only sudo apt install 'libretro-[^frontend]*' ? I noticed that he does the same and ignores the one that I do not want.

@alexb3d it probably does, but that doesn't do what you think it does.[^frontend]means any characters other thanf,r,o,n,t, e, ord`.

[^frontend] means any characters other than f, r, o, n, t, e, or d`.– Olorin
