found 265758 0.6.3-3.2 This command works:
aptitude -v --schedule-only install `perl -pe 's/\s+\w+\n/ /;' dpkg-select.txt` But, it's quite bulky. Also, I have my /var/lib/apt and /var/lib/aptitude symlinked, so I'm not sure if that's required for the dpkg -get command to work. And of course, this is only the second half of the bug. In any case, this is a quick fix 6-year bug with a ton of usefulness. With all of the talk about aptitude eventually replacing apt-get, bugs like this one and the lack of ability to compile from deb-src packages (bugs #299678, #403372, #468897) hinder that goal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
