retitle 436532 Should explicitely mention when a package is already installed thanks
(note that this retitle does not cover all issues you reported, bu I find it more precise about what you suggest. > Notice anything, apt-get gives the user precise info. if the > package is not installed (a) or (b) already installed. Yes, this is something that I noticed a while ago and was lazy enough to not report. > > If aptitude wants to be drop-in replacement to apt-get functionality-wise > then it needs to take this into account. It "does not want to", it *is* and it is for a few years now, if you care reading the release notes...:-)...the only problem is that Debian developers are a very bad example at using it, just like Debian power users who still think "apt-get into it".
