Well, I've looked high and low for this, expecting that of
course it must exist, but no luck. So if it does exist, then
consider this bug report as the need to document something.
It appears that there is no way to cancel all pending changes.
Maybe, if aptitude hadn't been quit, I could do Ctrl-C to take
care of the problem. This is sort of hinted at in the docs.
If this is correct, it should be made clear.
But in any case, that doesn't do the job once aptitude has
already been quit in the normal way. I shouldn't have to quit
anyway; there should be a command to kill all pending changes.
When I do quit in the normal way, it should work like this:
If no pending changes, quit without confirmation.
Else offer a choice:
a. do not quit
b. discard pending changes
c. try to perform the update
d. quit, retaining pending changes (highly unusual)
In general, I want a fresh start when I run aptitude.
Maybe I was having problems with broken packages. I'd like
such problems to just GO AWAY instead of haunting me.
BTW, I ended up having to uninstall the broken gnome-core
package to unwedge myself from a recent debian-unstable
problem. Fortunately this was possible and seemingly harmless.
I had to mark several other things as "hold" too. Ugh. I'd
much rather have just canceled all pending changes, then
gone on with a clean slate. (knowing to avoid messing with
the broken package until it gets repaired by the maintainer)
I had some completely unrelated things I wanted to update,
but was stopped until I mucked around with picky details in
the GNOME mess. I should have been able to put that problem
aside by canceling all pending updates, nice and fast.
