Package: apt Version: 0.1.9 When doing an (U)pdate in dselect (using the apt methods), or sometimes when attempting to do an (I)nstall, apt returns control to the dselect main menu without pausing. This clears the screen, and I am unable to tell whether the operation was successful. (With my Internet connection, the odds are quite good that it was not successful, since the timeout values are so low. And since I typically run these operations on a tty that isn't displayed at all times, I don't know what happened -- I check on it and only see the menu.)
Please ensure that the user always gets to read the output before allowing the screen to be cleared. -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux phoenix 2.0.34 #1 Sat Jul 4 23:12:35 EDT 1998 i486 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: hi libc6 2.0.7u-5 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.58-5 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) --- Begin /etc/apt/sources.list (modified conffile) deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US slink non-US # --- End /etc/apt/sources.list
