That you can figure it out doesn't mean that it doesn't suck.

The "expected" workflow in aptitude is that you pick all the changes
you want to make, then ask aptitude to show you all the changes that

Even if you don't see the packages in the list, you can still install

Great, thanks. Worked like a charm. Went and got the Packages files, ran

Would you expect this to happen or did I do something wrong??
