Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: important
When I tell aptitude to install a certain version of a package - and this
version is not available - it outputs an error (Unable to find a version "..."
for the package...) - but still returns 0(=OK).
This is a problem when automating installs using aptitude (we use puppet to do
it) - as it thinks all is well, when it isn't :(
To reproduce - do this:
# aptitude install subversion=1.4.2dfsg1-30 ; echo ret$?

ret0
It should have returned an error code - since it was unable to do what was
asked :(
