Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Hi.
The colon ":" key can be used to revert the to current change of a
package status.
E.g. When a package is about to be purged, : makes keeping it
installed.
Now unlike the other keys (+, -, _, etc.) : does not work in all places.
When the detail view of a package is entered, and on is on the top,
where the package name is, it works.
However, when one selects the packge as part of the Dependencies,
Suggests, Recommends, etc. or as part of the list created when pressing
"g",... using : is simply ignored.
How I could explain it well ;)
Cheers,
Chris.
