Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED], from the post of Wed, 12 May:


Hello,

I've marked too many packages to update (with the "U" key of aptitude) and would
like to undo this. But I can't find a way except for holding them all.


Is there a way to make aptitude forget a package marked for update and get it
backed to a simple "installed" state?



hitting "=" on each package individually. I have no idea how to do it for more thann one at a time.



I know about the "hold" option but that's not what I want. I want the package to be back
in its "i" state - which would allow it to be upgraded once the problems are resolved.
(btw - I can stand on one of the "group lines" and press "=" to hold an entire group of packages).


BTW - Has any other debian unstable user have torubles with the recent perl upgrade?
As far as I looked at it there are conflicts between perl-base and libperl5.8/perl. At first I
suspected that there are missing upgrades of other packages but this upgrade is already 9
days old. As it is now - if I'll go on with the upgrade it'll remove half the packages on my
system because they have unmet dependencies.


I use Hamakor's mirror, in case this makes a difference.

Thanks,

--Amos
