Is there a way in Aptitude or dselect to clear all holds on updates?
A previous manager put a lock on just about everything prefering to do it
himself, and I want to go back to using aptitude recommends.
I think something like
aptitude -o 'APT::Ignore-Hold = true' upgrade
will do the trick. (Warning: untested.)
There is also an --ignore-holds flag in apt-get (but you specified that
you want to use aptitude).
Apt would be fine also if there is a way to turn off all of the holds. Or
maybe there is a text file someplace that stores it and I can do a SED
command on. I want to go back to the original settings and let the catalog
decide what should or shouldnt be upgraded.
