Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.4-1 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hi all, From quite sometime aptitude changelog has been giving pain. Before when I used to do 'aptitude changelog $somepackage' it used to also get/deliver changelog from experimental. Now though even if I have specified that the changelog is to picked from 'experimental' it does not do unless and until I give the specific version as well.
Just as an e.g. case in point :- $ apt-show-versions -a linux-image-3.0.0-rc4-amd64 Not installed linux-image-3.0.0-rc4-amd64 3.0.0~rc4-1~experimental.1 experimental ftp.us.debian.org No stable version No testing version No unstable version linux-image-3.0.0-rc4-amd64 not installed As can be seen that the kernel image I am interested to know about is in experimental . If I run :- $aptitude changelog linux-image-3.0.0-rc4-amd64 the output I get is :- linux-2.6 (2.6.39-2) unstable; urgency=low [ Ben Hutchings ] * [x86] Enable BACKLIGHT_APPLE, replacing BACKLIGHT_MBP_NVIDIA (Closes: #627492) * cgroups: Disable memory resource controller by default. Allow it to be enabled using kernel parameter 'cgroup_enable=memory'. * rt2800usb: Enable support for more USB devices including Linksys WUSB600N (Closes: #596626) (this change was accidentally omitted from 2.6.39-1) * [x86] Remove Celeron from list of processors supporting PAE.

I do not know if this is a change within aptitude or a bug. For me it seems to be a bug. -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.4 compiled at May 16 2011 16:15:35 Compiler: g++ 4.6.1 20110507 (prerelease) Compiled against: apt version 4.10.1 NCurses version 5.9 libsigc++ version: 2.2.9 Ept support enabled.
