Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: wishlist
Using the command line (not GUI), the list:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
<Blank line here that could be removed too.>
Remove the following packages:
apt-file
apt-show-source
apt-show-versions
cmap-adobe-cns1...
may be hundreds long. i.e., much longer than one's screen.
Therefore do show them like
apt-file apt-show-source apt-show-versions cmap-adobe-cns1
cmap-adobe-gb1 cmap-adobe-japan1 cmap-adobe-japan2 cmap-adobe-korea1...
just like the other places in aptitude where you print names of lots
of packages. The pros can deal with that new way, but the non-pros can't deal
with the info flying off the screen too far. OK, we can, but not comfortably.

This already happens, at least with the default behaviour, so closing.
There are bugs asking for the contrary though, like #319575. It's
unlikely that the current behaviour changes, but it seems to be a
"contentious" issue.
# aptitude -s purge starfighter
