Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1.1 Severity: normal For various reasons I have some packages set on hold with following command: $ aptitude hold package1 package2 ... My everyday maintenance is simple: aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade
One of my hold packages was nvidia-glx: Log complete. Aptitude 0.4.1: log report Thu, Jun 15 2006 10:25:25 +0200 [HOLD] gcj [HOLD] libgcj-dev [HOLD] libgda2-3 [HOLD] mpeglib [HOLD] nvidia-glx [HOLD] python-imaging [HOLD] tetex-doc [HOLD] udev But next day I overlooked that something caused this nvidia-glx to be upgraded. I pressed enter too quickly, what caused some problems to my system. To my surprise I couldn't see HOLD nvidia-glx line any more in aptitude logs: Aptitude 0.4.1: log report Fri, Jun 16 2006 17:12:33 +0200 IMPORTANT: this log only lists intended actions; actions which fail due to dpkg problems may not be completed.

I am sure I haven't removed hold flag manually in the meantime. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14rg Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.1 0.6.44.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-5 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.16-3 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
