Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: normal This is something I've noticed from time to time but I've never quite had the presence of mind to catch until now.
Occasionally, a few upgradable packages (i.e., already installed but with a new version available) are filed into the "New Packages" category of the display. When one hits 'g', these errant packages appear listed under "Packages being held back" --- which is typically when I notice them and think "hmm... did I overlook these packages earlier?". Hitting 'f' to "Forget new packages" causes such packages to find their proper places in the "Upgradable Packages" listing. (I've captured a bunch of state files from /var which I figure might be useful to someone trying to debug this. Quite a bit of bytes, so if someone wants them, they can ask me.) -matt m. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3. 0.6.46 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-15 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 4.1.1-15 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.4.3-1 English manual for aptitude, a ter -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
