Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.4-1.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
running aptitude as root shows no issues at all: the cache is correctly
displayed on the ncurses UI and searching packages via 'aptitude search
<package>' works as expected.
However, when running aptitude as a non-root user, the following happens:
1) On the ncurses UI, all installed packages are shown as local or
obsolete, except those in ~c status, which are listed under
non-installed.
2) When doing 'aptitude search <package>', nothing will be found except
those packages that happen to be in ~c status.
This wasn't aptitude's behavior before. Before, non-root users were
presented with exactly the same cache than the root user's, obviously in
read-only mode. In fact, aptitude has ceased to warn non-root users
about having opened the cache in that said 'read-only mode'.
Purging ~/.aptitude hasn't worked.
Thanks for your attention.
