Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.11-1+b1 Severity: wishlist Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer,
If I mess up a config directory in /etc/, there are no easy command to achieve this ! It would be satisfying if that command would have 1 parameter only instead of long command not easy to remember: sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall <package-name> -- Package-specific info: $TERM not set. $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.6.11 compiled at Nov 8 2014 13:25:38 Compiler: g++ 4.9.1 Compiled against: apt version 4.12.0 NCurses version 5.9 libsigc++ version: 2.4.0 Gtk+ support disabled.
