Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.10-1+b1 Severity: normal Because editing the grouping in the menu didn't seem to work, I added an entry for Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping into the .aptitude/config file, putting after the other ::UI:: entries. I got the syntax wrong, and when I started aptitude, it detected the error. Okay so far. However, when I quit aptitude, it rewrote the config file, saving only the values it had successfully read, and thus wiping out about half the file. So, instead of being able to simply add a comma to the new value, I need to recreate a big chunk of the file. This strikes me as less than desirable; if the config file has an error, just don't re-write it.
