reporting aptitude errors

2007-12-11 Thread roberto
hello
i am receiving a long list of errors from aptitude but i do not know
how to copy and post them here ...

i have checked /var/log/aptitude but the log stops on march, since
probably on this machine there have been  no update from that date up
to now

thank you very much

I suppose you run aptitude's full screen user interface. You can use 
it from the command line too, just like apt-get, e.g.:


# aptitude install package_name

so, this way, I think you just redirect aptitude's output:

# aptitude install package_name  aptitude.log

(maybe should it be 2 aptitude.log?)

  If you are running at the command-line, you can click and drag to
select text, and then middle-click in your email program to copy it.
  If you are running in visual mode, you can shift-click and drag to
select text, and then middle-click in your email program to copy it.

  It would also be helpful if you include a brief description of what
you were trying to do when the error occurred.

  Daniel
