Clear selections in Aptitude

[Joseph H. Fry]

Due to the broken gnome issue, I cannot use CTRL+U to upgrade my system, 
unless I want gnome to be installed.  Unfortunately, aptitude has all of 
the upgrades and such selected for installation (from a previous time 
that I forgot to CTRL+C out of aptitude) and I cannot simply deselect 
them to prevent any action to be taken.

I could simply place all of those packages on hold, but then I would 
have to unhold them later when the issue is fixed.  Is there a way to 
simply unselect all selected packages so that no action is performed on 
them... that way if I want to install something I can still use aptitude 
to do it?

Joe
