it tells me that it will NOTHING do:
<code>No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.</code>
that is okay, but i would like to know why it does not do anything. and i want
to know it i have the newest available version.
<i>apt-get</i> told me, that the installed version is already the newest
version. why can not <i>aptitude</i> do so?
