aptitude seemed to expand its list of alternate dependency resolutions indefinitely today, during an upgrade in testing that involved lots of X changes.
I got an error about dependency problems, with 1 (1) showing at the bottom. When I went to examine the proposed solution, I hit next and got 2 (2), then 3(3), etc. I stopped around 87. I thought the display was n (m) where m was the constant number of alternatives, and n was the particular alternative. Am I not understanding something about how this is supposed to work? The other odd thing was that I accepted the recommended deletions of some packages, but they did not show of as deleted when I hit g to get the screen immediately preceding the g for "do the install." However, when I did the install, the packages were deleted. aptitude 0.4.1-1, not affected the upgrade. apt was 0.6.43.3, upgraded to 0.6.44.1 by the install. By the way, the problems centered around my use of nvidia-glx. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
