To summarize and to see if I understand this bug correctly; The original report sounded like it wanted some feature added. It already gave the answer on how to achieve that feature with current packages, IOW nothing to be done, correct? Michael then added information on 2007-06-28 that the grouping function produced unwanted side effects: the list of "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages" being empty?
I can confirm the latter being still present on Jaunty, but it is not necessary to do any fiddling with apt-preferences, this seems to be broken OOTB: bug 334196. Please clarify as to what this report is aiming to address. One issue, one report. ** Changed in: aptitude (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- Having Aptitude group packages by Origin & Archive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
