Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-6 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org
Sometimes, when things go horribly wrong in an upgrade (e.g. in the recent t64 transition if a library disappears and makes dpkg and sudo and su unrunnable), it would help to have a root shell available. In such circumstances, sometimes it would avoid the need for a rescue system if aptitude provided a means of starting a shell. Thank you.
