Package: aptitude-doc-en
Version: 0.6.11-1
Severity: normal

I’ve just encountered letters ‘T’ and ‘W’ as a package state in Aptitude package view:

T     cups                             1.7.5-7        1.7.5-7
W     cups-filters                     1.0.61-4       1.0.61-4
T     man-db                           2.7.0.2-3      2.7.0.2-3

‘aptitude(1)’ says: ‘For a complete list of the possible state ... flags, see the section “Accessing Package Information” in the aptitude reference guide.’

However that section [1] does not mention these flags, only ‘i’, ‘c’, ‘p’, ‘v’, ‘B’, ‘u’, ‘C’ and ‘H’.

In fact, they seems to stand for ‘triggers-pending’ and ‘triggers-awaiting’ (‘t’ and ‘W’ resp. in ‘dpkg’ according to ‘dpkg-query(1)’).
