Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick ubuntu-patch
When I tell aptitude to install a certain version of a package - and this version is not available - it outputs an error (Unable to find a version "..." for the package...) - but still returns 0(=OK). This is a problem when automating installs using aptitude, as it thinks all is well, when it isn't :( To reproduce, please run this command: # aptitude install subversion=1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2~hardy2; echo "ret:$?"
