--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.8.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi. It happens easily that one oversees the alternative dependencies bar | as in e.g.: --\ Recommends (1) --- gcc | c-compiler which is however quite some interesting information. Would it be possible to colourise it, e.g. in cyan? Cheers, Chris.

Visual cues such as alternate colour are quite attention grabbing and must be reserved for very important details such as e.g. broken packages and changing state. The alternatives are displayed in the common control file format, using an alternate colour on the syntax characters is quite distracting. So, no, we will not be doing that. Regards
