Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #477665
I just installed KDE 4 prematurely because of this bug. I did not expect that
running
'sudo aptitude -d install -t experimental kde4-minimal', then pressing 'e' to
massage
some package versions manually in interactive mode, would cause the '-d' to
become
ignored.
(All I wanted was to make efficient use of my internet quota, and maybe try KDE
4
later in the week. *Maybe.* I get to try it ealier, it seems.)
IMO, this is not a wishlist, but a bug (of at least normal severity). If nothing
else, any sort of warning would have been useful.
Peace,
Brendon
