You claimed to type q to quit, rather than confirming the installation/ removal of packages, using visual mode: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/06/msg00508.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/06/msg00516.html But you didn't really have much idea of what visual aptitude was asking because you were running it with an unsatisfactory terminal configuration: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/06/msg00493.html And you were adamant that aptitude could only run in visual mode with the ncurses TextUI, and not as a CLI: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/06/msg00501.html And, of course, ncurses was then "35-45 years old, […] time it was put out to pasture". Even xterm was "a waste of hd space, […] usable […] 30 years ago, but on today's $140 monitors its worthless": https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/06/msg00490.html So if you drive a car with your eyes closed, you're not likely to end up where you wanted to. I think Lisi found you out there. Cheers, David.
