Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.6.1-1
When a package recommends a forbidden package that package is installed anyway. On my system I use pdnsd for dns caching. pdnsd recommends resolvconf, which kills my internet connection. resolvconf is forbidden for this reason. However, any time I upgrade pdnsd, resolvconf gets selected too. The only way around this is to manually deselect resolvconf any time I update pdnsd. To reproduce: In Aptitude, enter resolvconf package page Highlight version 1.37 and press F to forbid Status should show pF In the main package list set pdnsd to be installed Press G to go to the confirmation screen resolvconf will be listed as a package to be installed even though it is forbidden. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
