Actually, I found it after I sent this report. Unfortunately, it did *nothing* the change the situation. I set it to 20000, I set it to -10000, and nothing changed. Ehhh, now looking again at file:///usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s04s05.html I see: Option: Aptitude::Problem-Resolver::PreserveManualScore which is what I used. Well, it seems that should be ProblemResolver (without the '-')... Thus, I need to try that again :-) Should I file a doc bug? > not terribly interested in adding more ways to throw away solutions entirely, > as the more complicated you make those schemes, the more likely that they'll > eliminate solutions that are actually good.

However, I see no reason why solutions that contradict your orders should ever come *before* options that obey your orders. I would very much like to know what the potential negative consequences of a (very) high default value for that option might be? I'll definitely try it out and report back. Especially now that the complex C++ allocator transition is ongoing, I have these situations quite often... /Mikael -- Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
