Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream
Hi. Currently, when I mark a package as hold (= key in the UI) it will get the hold status, which is however automatically overridden, when I e.g. do a "+" for upgrade on the package or the whole collapsed tree element. I think this makes the behaviour quite unfortunate as it easily happens that the "hold" flag is automatically overridden, e.g. just by saying "upgrade all". It would be nice, if a hold package needs to be specifically "unhold" first before other actions like upgrade/remove/purge/etc. would be accepted on it. To make thinks easier to work with: - there could be UI and/or command line options that allow to - simply ignore this one time or - clear any hold flags on packages. - The action overview could feature a special section which features all packages (either marked as hold or not), which are kept in the current state *because of* the hold flag on some packages. E.g. *other* (non-hold) packages which are not not auto-upgraded or not auto-removed or hold packages that are not upgraded/removed/etc. (even though the user tried to perform the action on them) because of the flag. Cheers, Chris. _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
