Ok... I got it... A long long time ago I put a script in /usr/local/ to launch aptitude with a Batch priority with the -ck patch. And the script used $1 instead of $*... Really really really sorry for this... :( -- Steph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then I frankly haven't a clue what's going on. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude show iproute Unknown command show iproute [help output...] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude show iproute Package: iproute [...] This has always been how aptitude works, and I can't even imagine a codepath that would produce the result you describe. Could you please save and chmod +x the attached script, and run the following tests? (1) Run 'test.py show iproute' = should produce ['test.py', 'show', 'iproute'] (2) Run 'test.py show iproute' = should produce ['test.py', 'show iproute'] (3) Move the aptitude binary out of the way (mv /usr/bin/aptitude /usr/bin/aptitude.real) (4) Copy test.py to /usr/bin/aptitude (5) Run 'aptitude show iproute' = should produce ['aptitude', 'show', 'iproute'] (6) Run 'aptitude show iproute' = should produce ['aptitude', 'show iproute'] If these tests succeed, the only explanation I can think of is that you have something seriously screwed up in your libc (which aptitude uses to parse arguments). If they fail, you have something seriously screwed up in your shell and/or kernel. There may be other possibilities, but I'm not creative enough to arrive at them at the moment.

Bug#380277: aptitude: Command line doesn't take into account more than one argument!
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1.1 Severity: important Hi! Examples will better explain the problem: % aptitude show iproute ...doesn't produce any output. But, % aptitude show iproute ...shows the package information. % aptitude install dqdsglkjm ...doesn't produce any error But, % aptitude install dqdlqkj ...does. Every action that takes only one argument (update, upgrade, ...) works fine. But when more than one argument is supplied on the command line, it doesn't... I've tried other programs that need more than one argument and they work, so it seems that the problem actually comes from aptitude. Tell me if you need more information or tests!
