Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Followup-For: Bug #268697 Can I beg and plead for this bug to be fixed, pleeeeeease? :)
I'd be happy to help write a patch, except for the fact that I don't actually understand precisely what dist-upgrade does. I know only these things: * It doesn't work exactly like apt-get dist-upgrade. * It will hold back packages that aptitude upgrade does not. If you want to corner me in IRC some time and brain dump, I can try to come up with a patch to the manpage. Let me know what I can do to help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-powerpc-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.5.28.6 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-4 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
