You need to do this: Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping "task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(topdir)"; Curly braces introduce a new sub-group, so the config file fragment you wrote is the same as this: Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping ""; Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping:: "task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(topdir)"; > > And, BTW, according to the documentation, the default for > Aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping is > > filter(missing),status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(topdir) > > but this is not what an initial `G' shows (see above, `filter(missing)' > vs `task'). Any hints? You need to file a bug saying that the documentation didn't change the last time that the default did. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
