Hi Deephay,
if the design did not include that feature, its not a missing feature. I
think aptitude is being developed more and may include such functions.
Also, apt-get has less functions when compared to aptitude, so I dont
see it being expanded as fast as aptitude. Either way, you can make a
'wishlist' request. But the scipt is not very complex to make, at least
by me. And this script may not meet everyones needs, so it probably wont
be added.
Cheers,
Kev
Thanks!
Cheers,
Deephay
