Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.4-4 Severity: normal Hi!
On an updated lenny box, "aptitude search" fails to show the 'A' on the third column for automatically installed packages. When I installed the xorg package: # aptitude install xorg some one hundred of other packages were pulled in because of dependencies and recommendations. But now: $ aptitude search xserver-xorg i xserver-xorg - the X.Org X server i xserver-xorg-core - X.Org X server -- core server p xserver-xorg-dev - X.Org X server -- development files v xserver-xorg-driver-r128 -

Repeating the "search" command for other strings never shows any 'A' character. The documentation (manpage and manual) seems to say that it should show the 'A' and it used to show it on sarge: what's wrong now? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) 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 2.3.6.ds1-13 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".
