Package: aptitude-common Version: 0.8.13-3 Severity: minor File: /usr/share/man/man8/aptitude-curses.8.gz
I found that for a package marked as on hold, doing forbid-version then unhold also wipes out forbid-version. Sure, usually this is what one wants, but this side effect is not mentioned on the man page, not under forbid-version, not under unhold. I.e., if we want to change from hold, to just forbid-version, well, there will have to be a moment when we completely unmark the package...
