Public bug reported: Binary package hint: aptitude
Some preferences (changes to string options) can't be saved of aptitude's interface are not saved to disk when I quit. I'm used to set display format with a %t at the end, to show for each package the distribution it cames from. Go to "Options"->"Preferences" and then press Enter and edit the format for displaying package. In aptitude from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy" (version 0.4.9-2ubuntu5) this field is reset to default value each time aptitude is closed, it's no more saved - see ~/.aptitude/config This is clearly a regression since I used to set this preference for a long long time. I've noticed, that this bug is already fixed in Debian, see http://bugs.debian.org/471315 : Changes: aptitude (0.4.11.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. - Save interactive changes to string options. (Closes: #471315) - Don't crash if debtags has been purged (Closes: #472695). I think this bug should be fixed in 8.04 LTS updates or, at least, in backports. ** Affects: aptitude (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: aptitude (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: aptitude (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: aptitude (Baltix) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #471315 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471315 ** Also affects: aptitude (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471315 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- [regression] some preferences (changes to string options) can't be saved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226820 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
