since some time ago the aptitude started to act strangely - everytime I do update (u) and then upgrade (g) it holds back huge number of packages (20+).
when I run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade no packages (or only two or three) are held back. I can manually set the packages to be updated (+) and they are updated, so there is no reason to hold them back, I am pretty sure that I did not put the packages on hold manually (it happens repeatedly) - anybody knows what's the deal? should I file a bug (there's no such bug yet) I thought that the information about state of packages (like package being held back) is shared among all the apt application (aptitude, apt-get etc...), how come they are on hold in aptitude but not in apt-get? TIA erik
