It probably depends on whether you consider the full list of 172 packages useful or not ;) For this reason, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature. It clearly wasn't intentional, though. Maybe I should add a command to print the un-upgraded packages at the prompt... Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: aptitude and held packages
Try aptitude -s full-upgrade to see the remaining packages to be upgraded. This is because safe-upgrade does not remove any installed package. Try man aptitude to see the difference between these two options. On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 19:59, Rick Pasotto r...@niof.net wrote: I just upgraded apt and aptitude to the latest testing version.

Although 'aptitude -s safe-upgrade' tells me that '172 not upgraded' it no longer lists them. Is this a bug or an intentional change? That's ... a good question. I'll get back to you. My guess is that when the safe-upgrade code was merged into the other command-line actions, you got a behavior change for free. Must be your lucky day! :-) Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
