Hi,
when I hit ctrl-c during download or package installation, I get
returned to the shell. Please consider adding a ctrl-c handler that
only aborts download and/or package installation and returns to
aptitude.
Greetings
Marc

Current behaviour of aptitude/0.6.4-1.2:
`C-c' during download => shell
`q' during download => aptitude
Generally a user expects `C-c' to interupt the entire program and as
aptitude already has `q' available to abort a download I don't see
good reason to change this behaviour.
`C-c' during install => (ignored)
`q' during install => (ignored)
During an install aptitude passes control to libapt-pkg which passes
control to dpkg. Handling SIGINT during this is a bad idea:
(From apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:1069)
/* Mask off sig int/quit. We do this because dpkg also does when
it forks scripts. What happens is that when you hit ctrl-c it sends
it to all processes in the group. Since dpkg ignores the signal
it doesn't die but we do! So we must also ignore it */
Situation unlikely to change so I am marking this `wontfix'. Please
adjust if anyone disagrees.
I agree with the analysis above, "q" is the main way in aptitude to
cancel "screens" and views, and by now it's quite established. Ctrl-c
is ignored in some cases, as explained, for good reasons.
More than a decade after the request and 4 years since it was marked as
+wontfix, and the situation didn't change. So I think that it's better
to close this now rather than continue to gather dust.
Cheers.
