Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: wishlist
I know it is not possible to make it right for everyone, but i try to give a reason for my wish. In the non-visual mode (commandline-usage) i would prefere to have the packages that are to be removed sorted last (near the question if it is ok to continue). Because there are times with a long list of packages kept back if i only want to update some packages of many available upgradeable packages. Currently the packages that will be removed are sorted before the kept pack packages, so one have to scroll back to verify if there are not packages removed that are important and removing could be avoided by adding additional packages to the install command. So i think the following order best, at least for me ;-) 1) kept back packages (i think them least important and the list could be reviewed with a aptitude -s dist-upgrade) 2) packages that will be updated (they normaly do little changes) 3) additional added packages (change the system more) 4) packages that will be removed. Having a wrong selection there hurts most. Automatically removed packages in particular. With this order the "electric" changes are closest to the "continue" question and therefore best "at hand" or "in view". Many thanks and be secured of my estimation for maintaining this package, even if you don't follow my wishes. gerhard -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3. 0.6.46.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-19 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-19 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.4.3-1 English manual for aptitude, a ter -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
