Safe-upgrade is, as the name suggests, the safer thing. Shame it can't be replicated by search pattern as full-upgrade can, though. >>> a new package?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Aptitude question
I would suggest using safe-upgrade. Don't use unless you want a broken packages.

Not sure that it does exactly, but... the ~U search-pattern matches installed and upgradeable packages, so 'aptitude install mumble ~U' should do the job, as install is also the aptitude command to upgrade a package if possible. Failing that, 'aptitude full-upgrade && aptitude install mumble' will work, of course. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Aptitude question
Hi all, Is there any way to get aptitude to do a full-upgrade while installing a new package? I just had a situation where I was trying to install mumble after doing an 'aptitude update', and got into a conflict state because libqtcore4 was going to be upgraded *as well as* being installed as a dependency of mumble. Hmm, not sure I explained that very well... The version of mumble I was about to install depended on the new version of libqtcore4, but all the other Qt apps installed depended on the previous version. So the best suggestion of the 'aptitude install mumble' command was to leave everything unchanged! So, what I want is something like 'aptitude full-upgrade and install mumble' - does such a thing exist?
