Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.7-1 I am trying to look which packages are new in buster that were not in stretch. I am using aptitude since it't great tool for browsing packages.
until now it was easy: do 'f'orget new packages in aptitude change sources.list to point to new release do 'u'pdate packages list ... voila but now, when I do this, aptitude seems to forget all info about packages previously available. This was not an issue in jessie (0.6.11-1+b1) and previous versions. when I have tried to run "apt update" after changing sources.list, and run aptitude, the expected (former) behaviour was encountered. (even when I furtger 'u'pdated in aptitude). the pkgstates contained differencies between releases: # diff -u /tmp/pkgstates.old /tmp/pkgstates.apt-update @@ -47,13 +40,6 @@ Dselect-State: 0 Remove-Reason: 0 -Package: libcollada2gltfconvert-dev -Architecture: i386 -Unseen: no -State: 3 -Dselect-State: 0 -Remove-Reason: 0 - Package: python3-doc8 Architecture: i386 Unseen: no @@ -117,6 +103,13 @@ Dselect-State: 0 Remove-Reason: 0 +Package: python-libthumbor +Architecture: i386 +Unseen: yes +State: 3 +Dselect-State: 0 +Remove-Reason: 0 + Package: globus-xioperf Architecture: i386 Unseen: no When I rolled back and did update inside of aptitude, all packages in pkgstates were changed to: --- /tmp/pkgstates.apt-update 2019-07-09 16:31:37.079852823 +0200 +++ /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates 2019-07-09 16:37:57.671178453 +0200 @@ -1,104 +1,104 @@ Package: libdatrie-doc Architecture: i386 -Unseen: no +Unseen: yes State: 3 Dselect-State: 0 Remove-Reason: 0 Package: libfstrcmp0-dbg Architecture: i386 -Unseen: no +Unseen: yes State: 3 Dselect-State: 0 Remove-Reason: 0 etc. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [email protected] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
