(unstable; aptitude v. 0.2.14.1-2 ) I just discovered 'aptitude forbid-version', which supposedly allows you to tell aptitude to skip the current version of a package. It allows you to avoid buggy versions without manually dealing with holds. Very nice.
Only problem, I'm not sure it works. When I mark certain packages as forbidden (and I know they are, because they show up with an F in the status field), then type "aptitude install" at the command line, it lists the "forbidden" packages among the packages to be upgraded. What am I missing? -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
