Subject: aptitude forget-new doesn't work as advertised but only with libgnutls
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I usually use aptitude 'aptn' and aptfn' to search for new files and
to tell aptitude to forget new files.
Sharing the aliases :-
[$] alias aptn
aptn='aptitude search '\''~N'\'
and
[$] alias aptfn
aptfn='sudo aptitude forget-new'
This is the output I have been seeing over past few weeks/months :-
[$] aptn
i libgnutls26 - GNU TLS library - runtime library
[$] aptfn
[sudo] password for shirish:
[$] aptn
i libgnutls26 - GNU TLS library - runtime library
As can be seen no matter what I do libgnutls26 is seen as being new.
I dunno whether that's a bug in aptitude, in apt or somewhere else.
[$] apt-cache policy libgnutls26
