So indeed in the man page
To remove the forbidden version without installing the
candidate version, the current version should be appended: "install
<package>=<version>".
is utterly totally wrong. Please remove it.
set debian-reference-en
aptitude forbid-version $@
aptitude search $@ #shows F
aptitude install $@=2.59 # abort with n, we don't want to install it.
aptitude search $@ #still F
Note I use Aptitude::CmdLine::Always-Prompt "true";
Please change it to
Currently there is no way to remove the forbidden version without
installing the
candidate version.
Or better
Currently there is no way to remove the forbidden version NOTATION
without installing the
candidate version.
Yes I know about hold.
