The inclusion of "-y":
> sudo /usr/bin/aptitude -y install hadoop-0.20
means that in the event of problems you are instructing aptitude to
proceed with it's first suggestion:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
hadoop-0.20 [Not Installed]
hadoop-0.20-native [Not Installed]
*technically* aptitude has done what you have asked it to do.
The problem resolver does attempt to honour explicitly requested actions
[1]. In this case that is not possible. The only solution would be to
add a further option *requiring* the requested actions to be performed
(this is very different to what "-y" does).
[1] Configuration items: Aptitude::ProblemResolver::PreserveManualScore
and Aptitude::CmdLine::Request-Strictness
> sudo aptitude install bogus-package
...
> echo $?
0
This has already been reported [2].
