There's a patch in http://bugs.debian.org/151540 to make this a single-key action. To, er, quote myself from that bug report: Without that, the best way I know, short of the risky procedure of hand-editing /var/lib/dpkg/status, is to use the ':' (unhold) command with the cursor on each of the "Updated packages (newer version is available)", "Up to date installed packages", and "Available packages (not currently installed)" headers. You may have to go round a few times to calm dselect down. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
