Subject: base: apt-get installs packages, even when I say "n"
Package: base
Version: N/A; reported 2002-07-18
Severity: normal
Tags: security
(I say that it is a security bug because it may allow someone
to install insecure/buggy packages from sid, when they don't
want to.)
When running "apt-get -u -t testing upgrade", it prompts me
"Do you want to continue? [Y/n]". If I respond "n" (without the
double-quotes, of course), it begins the install:
rebel:/etc/apt# apt-get -u -t testing upgrade

Probably something like this then. I don't see any other way it could
happen.
