So when you run aptitude, is the first entry
--- Upgradable Packages ( )
and, if so, what number is in parentheses?
Also if so, what do you see when you select this item?
(ie press return on this item, then ↓ and return,
repeating until you reach actual package names.)
If you do reach a list of package names, with an appearance like so:
--\ Upgradable Packages (1)
--\ video - Utilities to record, view, edit, and stream video files (1)
--\ main - The main Debian archive (1)
i get-iplayer 2.94-1 2.97-1
what packages does it want to upgrade, and from which version to which?
(It would be nice to have some concrete examples of what's being discussed.)
Cheers,
David.
