Can anyone explain what the final line from an aptitude update (After setting sources.list to "testing")
aptitude full-upgrade This very last line from aptitude seems like its probably full of meaning, but not much use if I cannot find out what the heck it means. It apparently sums up what happened during the last 1hr+ of scrolling and scrolling output. ,---- | Current status: 0 updates [-1029], 37263 new [-11] `---- Some seem to be awfully high numbers if the are tracking pkgs, nnless the numbers are an accounting of each and every FILE during this upgrade. No doubt, each of those numbers mean something specific but after looking at extensive documentation of 'aptitude'. I haven't been able to put it together. Can anyone explain, blow by blow, what that line means in detail? Or better yet, suggest where that line is documented thoroughly. ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- I asked this same question back in 2010... although that line was different .. and the upgrade was a lot more problematic. still I never got a complete answer. ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- I found one google page .. apparently a bug report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626829 Apparently submitted by: From: Jonas Stein <n...@jonasstein.de> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Subject: aptitude suggestion for more precise status message "123 [+23]" Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 19:50:14 +0200 It "suggests" some meanings for those numbers... but I wasn't sure how to track that bug, and see if it was ever resolved. And I found a few other hits on the subject but each of them only explains 1 or 2 of the numbers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
