[Aptitude-devel] Bug#816781: aptitude: Can not cancel pending upgrade actions

[Zhang Jingqiang]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have a local repos, and add some newer packages to it.
And aptitude failed to install it, which has been pending in # #816537.
Then I try to "Cancel pending actions", but nothing can be canceled.
