Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.4-4 Severity: normal Way to reproduce:
$ aptitude install already-installed-package I was trying to install a package which I didn't know was already installed. The output indicated that basically nothing happened, so I thought there must be an error somewhere. It took me some time to find out that it was already installed. I think it would be more intuitive if the output always said something about the packages given on the command line. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.5-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) pn libparse-debianchangelog-perl <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
