[Aptitude-devel] Bug#807098: don't ask "Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]" if there is nothing to do

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.4-2
Severity: wishlist

No big deal, but here aptitude knows to not ask us
"Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]",

# aptitude full-upgrade
...
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

So maybe it shouldn't ask in the latter case too.
