Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.8.2 I used interactive aptitude to install several choices from within task debian-science. Near the end of the install process I got a screen with a text menu which claimed to be "Configuring science-config" and instructing me: "Please select, among the whole system user list, users who should get a Debian Science user menu." with a text-mode list of users with apparently text-mode check boxes by each username, and choices <OK> and <cancel> at the bottom of the screen.
Unfortunately there was no hint about what keys or what input might affect the check boxes or might navigate to the OK and Cancel buttons. I wanted to select both users, and the cursor seemed to be inside the first check-box, so I guessed that maybe the enter key might select that check box. This was a bad choice, because it exited me from the menu, apparently without selecting any user. After looking at man files, and help documentation, I still have no idea what I should have done. I also have no idea how to revisit this choice and select some usernames. I file this bug, because I think it would be nice to have some hint on the text-mode menu screen, like maybe "[X selects/unselects]" "[TAB moves to next option]" ["ENTER means exit"] or _whatever_ the actual inputs are that I should use with this menu screen. Or even some text explaining where to look to find out how it works. If this text-mode screen comes from some other program invoked by aptitude, I would appreciate even learning that information.
