Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.1.5-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I am trying to get the new kde 4.4.2 installed with aptitude, and am noticing that aptitude behaves differently than apt-get when it comes to selecting packages. $ apt-cache policy konsole konsole: Installed: 4:4.3.4-1 Candidate: 4:4.4.2-0rc1 Version table: 4:4.4.2-0rc1 0 501 http://qt-kde.debian.net experimental-snapshots/main Packages *** 4:4.3.4-1 0 500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org sid/main Packages -10 http://ftp2.de.debian.org squeeze/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6 0 -10 http://ftp2.de.debian.org lenny/main Packages With this settings, apt-get install konsole will immediately pull 4:4.4.2-0rc1 from qt-kde.debian.net. However, aptitude needs an additional -t experimental-snapshots, which might have side effects that I wouldn't want to have. Additionally, this precludes me from using aptitude in full-screen mode. Why does aptitude behave differently than apt-get here? $ sudo apt-get -d install konsole [sudo] password for mh on swivel: Reading package lists...
