From the aptitude reference manual: Note All changes to package states are saved when you quit aptitude, update the package list, or perform an install run. If you do not wish to save your changes, you can always abort aptitude by pressing Ctrl-C. Since you have already exited aptitude, that's not possible unfortunately. Another possibility of course is to use Ctrl-u to undo actions while you are in aptitude. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work between invocations either. One possibility might be the old status file (if you haven't done any other changes in between). Copy the /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates.old to /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates. That should return the selections to the previous states. HTH, Simo -- :r ~/.signature
