Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.10-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you for maintaining aptitude and would be eternally grateful for
the tool.
My query/bug maybe same/similar to perhaps #833310
I remember how aptitude used to work before.
a. Before updating the package lists I used to run
$ sudo aptitude forget-new
This used to forget all the new packages be a blank slate.
b. Then I used to run ' $ sudo apt update'
c. Then run '$ sudo aptitude search '~n'
and it used to only show the new packages which have come in because
of the update.
This behavior doesn't seem possible.
