[Aptitude-devel] Bug#819943: really should add an unforbid-version command

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

So indeed in the man page

           To remove the forbidden version without installing the
           candidate version, the current version should be appended: "install
           <package>=<version>".


is utterly totally wrong. Please remove it.

set debian-reference-en
aptitude forbid-version $@
aptitude search $@ #shows F
aptitude install $@=2.59 # abort with n, we don't want to install it.
aptitude search $@ #still F

Note I use Aptitude::CmdLine::Always-Prompt "true";

Please change it to

           Currently there is no way to remove the forbidden version without installing the
           candidate version.

Or better

           Currently there is no way to remove the forbidden version NOTATION without installing the
           candidate version.

Yes I know about hold.
