Control: severity -1 wishlist Control: tags -1 + moreinfo
Hi, 2010-09-20 19:32 Daniel Hahler:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3.1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Using ":package-name-or-pattern" during upgrade/installation is very useful to skip some package(s). However, the check if more than 40 packages match a pattern gets applied also, without limiting it to effective packages being matched (those in the list to install/upgrade). The message is: "Couldn't find package \"%s\", and more than 40\npackages contain \"%s\" in their name" Please skip this check altogether in interactive mode (in contrast to the pattern being passed on the command line), or - maybe better - limit it to the effective packages being matched, i.e. when using ":php5-*" to leave all php5-* packages as is for this upgrade, just reject the pattern, if more than 40 php5-packages would have been upgraded (in contrast to more than 40 php5-packages known to aptitude).
I don't understand very well the request. What's the purpose of this? The user already knows that all packages matching "php5-*" are going to be kept, no need to show all 145 of them (count of packages named like that today). Cheers. -- Manuel A.
