[Aptitude-devel] Bug#822272: aptitude: No more forgets reinstallation instruction after reinstallation has happened

[Axel Beckert]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal

If I select a package for reinstallation by pressing "L" in the TUI and
then press 2x "g", the package will be reinstalled.

Afterwards at "Press Return to continue, 'q' followed by Return to
quit."  I press <Enter> (not Ctrl-C) and it still lists that package for
reinstallation.
