-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 reassign 372795 aptitude thanks
Hi, Your system seems confused. I am reassigning this bug to aptitude, I might recommend, for further troubleshooting, that you see if apt-cache policy <package> gives the correct answers. Also, it helps the person who has to handle your bug if you do not cut information from the output of your commands. micah Rainer Zocholl wrote: > Package: aptitude > State: installed > Version: 0.2.15.9-2 > Priority: important > > > Hello > > > "aptitude show" says > Package: aptitude > State: installed > Version: 0.4.1-1.1 > > but installed is actually 0.2.15.9-2! > > The info aptitude delivers are missleading wrong > when the "installed" does not belong to the shown version number. > There is no hint that the 0.4.1-1.1 belongs to "testing". > > Too aptitude accepts "-t <>" but ignores it without warning or error. > An ignored because "unkown" parameter should give at least a warning IMHO. > > > > example with backupninja but other packages aptitude shows > an unrelated version number too, for example > > > > ~# aptitude show aptitude > Package: aptitude > State: installed > Automatically installed: no > Version: 0.4.1-1.1 > Priority: important > Section: admin > Maintainer: Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Uncompressed Size: 7361k > Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11, libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0), > libncursesw5 > (>= 5.4-5), libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0) > Recommends: aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-doc > Suggests: libparse-debianchangelog-perl, tasksel, debtags > Description: terminal-based apt frontend > aptitude is a terminal-based apt frontend with a number of useful features, > including: a > mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like > persistence of > user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of > most packages, > and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get. > > aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and > housebroken. > > ~# apt-cache show aptitude > Package: aptitude > Priority: important > Section: admin > Installed-Size: 7188 > Maintainer: Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Architecture: i386 > Version: 0.4.1-1.1 > Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11, libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0), > libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-5), libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0) > Recommends: aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-doc > Suggests: libparse-debianchangelog-perl, tasksel, debtags > Filename: pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.4.1-1.1_i386.deb > Size: 2605972 > MD5sum: 4c5ae737f68d5169fd451d9c3c5ea436 > Description: terminal-based apt frontend > aptitude is a terminal-based apt frontend with a number of useful > features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a > flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the > ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most > packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get. > . > aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, > and housebroken. > Tag: admin::configuring, admin::package-management, interface::text-mode, > made-of::lang:c++, role::sw:application, suite::debian, uitoolkit::ncurses, > use::browsing, use::configuring, works-with::software:package > > Package: aptitude > Priority: optional > Section: admin > Installed-Size: 5624 > Maintainer: Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Architecture: i386 > Version: 0.2.15.9-2 > Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= > 1:3.4.1-3), libncurses5 (>= 5.4-1), libsigc++-1.2-5c102, libstdc++5 (>= > 1:3.3.4-1) > Recommends: aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-doc > Filename: pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.2.15.9-2_i386.deb > Size: 1844160 > MD5sum: 98106b573bd1f4a23a4423dd5d6edd47 > Description: terminal-based apt frontend > aptitude is a terminal-based apt frontend with a number of useful > features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a > flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the > ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most > packages, and extreme flexibility and customization. > . > aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, > and housebroken. > > ~# dkpg -l aptitude > -bash: dkpg: command not found > ~# dpkg -l aptitude > Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold > | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed > |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: > uppercase=bad) > ||/ Name Version Description > +++-================-================-======================================= > ========= > ii aptitude 0.2.15.9-2 terminal-based apt frontend > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEkDHG9n4qXRzy1ioRAoByAJ0WF+7CaSyHsu1kn1BuZThuO8h1NgCfXGEL d2HG5lRK+5gCoS8L24RKVcQ= =jVX+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
