Hi As is quite common for Unix programs, if the command does not display an error then you can presume it has done what you asked. Positive feedback *by default* is undesirable noise IMO. I agree that due to the processing of pending actions the output is noisy and misleading at the moment. This is a low priority for me but I have been aware of it for some time. If I ever get around to addressing this: - decouple 'forbid-version' from 'install' and others, so no more processing of pending actions; - "-v" to get positive feedback; so: # aptitude forbid-version foo # aptitude forbid-version -v bar I: forbidding version xx of package bar > Yes I recall this is a duplicate Then please write a patch or motivate someone to write a patch. Reporting this more times doesn't achieve anything except increasing noise and maintenance burden. We appreciate that you find this inconvenient and also the large amounts of feedback you provide for many projects including aptitude. Please note however that the list of outstanding issues contains many that are more important than this, developer time is limited, and so issues are prioritized to some degree. > but nobody looks at these anyway. Almost 200 bugs cleared out in the last four months... I suppose they just decided to sort themselves :-) Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
