Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.4-1 Severity: wishlist You know it would be nice if aptitude mentioned exactly what it is forbidding. It does about what it installs and removes. Why not also forbidding? # aptitude forbid-version ~i~nemacs-snapshot No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
Yes I could do a # aptitude search ~i~nemacs-snapshot to see what matches, but you don't force us to do that first when installing or removing just to get a look at what we're about to do. Indeed maybe aptitude is forbidding nothing. You won't even tell us that. One cannot tell. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
