Also from the above,
The following packages will be REMOVED:
android-tools-adb{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
android-tools-adb{p} (adb B: android-tools-adb) vlc{p}
despite the slight difference in the { },
I would say PURGED:.
OK trying with
-o Aptitude::CmdLine::Show-Deps=0 -o Aptitude::CmdLine::Show-Why=0 -o
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose=0
still doesn't eliminate the { } so I suppose they will still always look
different.
