# echo 'aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Prompts "true";' >> .aptitude/config # aptitude l~Abad (You now get an error message about ~Abad query) l~Atesting (You now get the same error message about ~Abad query, or in other words last search was not cleared) > (at a quick check, the minibuf prompt for limits appears to work, but > there might be something I'm overlooking) In case there is more to it here is my entire config: aptitude ""; aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::UI ""; aptitude::UI::HelpBar "false"; aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Prompts "true"; aptitude::UI::Incremental-Search "false"; aptitude::UI::Description-Visible-By-Default "false"; aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping ""; aptitude::UI::Menubar-Autohide "true"; aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "true"; aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; aptitude::Auto-Upgrade "true"; aptitude::AutoClean-After-Update "true"; aptitude::Ignore-Recommends-Important "true"; APT ""; APT::Install-Recommends "false"; Removing the 'aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Prompts "true";' line changed the behavior obviously, but I was no longer able to reproduce the error. /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC http://lifeintegrity.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
