Before you press the corresponding menu entry, but after already having selected it, aptitude will show the following long description in the status line: Cancel all pending actions from this session So this menu entry only cancels actions which weren't scheduled in previous sessions on purpose. So maybe we should be a little bit more verbose with the short description in the menu or maybe even split "Cancel pending actions" into two separate menu entries: * Cancel pending actions of this session * Cancel all pending actions or similar. For now, what should do what you want is calling "aptitude keep-all" on the commandline.
