Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-6 Severity: wishlist
When aptitude only gets one argument, which is does not recognise as a keyword, it should assume that the argument is either a package name or a package file. Hence, aptitude package_file.deb should install the package file package_file.deb if it is in $PWD, and all its dependancies, if available. This would make 3rd party repositories redundant for any 3rd party debs that only depend on packages that are in the official repositories. It would also lower the threshold for new users, and be more "Do What I Mean" for experienced users. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=no_NO, LC_CTYPE=no_NO (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.1 0.6.41 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c2 1.2.5-5 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.2.15.9-6 English manual for aptitude, a ter -- no debconf information -- Herman Robak -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
