Package: aptitude
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: important
According to the manual page and to the package description
"aptitude is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package system."
Now, a spiffy new gtk interface fires-up. I did not ask for this.
I do not want this (if I had, I would probably have typed "aptitude-gtk").
Quickly typing "man aptitude" or "aptitude --help", I see no immediately
obvious way of recovering the expected, curses based application.
Nor did I find anything under /etc/alternatives.
What is going on here? Is this Debian?
Not to make any judgement on the qualities of the new gtk interface.
Maybe it will be a success. Maybe I will use it, or maybe not...
But something has gone wrong. I was not informed upon upgrade
(or on running aptitude) about this new behavior.
I still have not figured-out how to run aptitude
(other than switching to a non-X11 virtual terminal).
Thanks anyways, but please fix this!
