Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.8-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Developers,

aptitude is a really nice piece of Debian and I do almost all my package
management with it. Thanks.

However, loading the apt-cache takes > 10 seconds on my oldish computer
(only 64 MB RAM).

Therefore I would appreciate a way to quit aptitude right after a
successfull download/install run. Just now, I have to

   "Press return to continue"  (in the console-display)
   
   Wait for aptitude to reappear
   
   Wait and wait and wait for aptitude to relaod the Cache
   
   Press q to close aptitude.


Maybe one could replace the first action by

   "Press [Return] to continue, [q] to quit"


(BTW: would it be save to abort with ^C here?)

Alternative (if this is hard to implement): an configuration option
"pause after install" -- with a dialog "Close aptitude? N/y" before the
cache gets reloaded.


Sincerely

Guenter Milde
