[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1064958: Even if there was finally a choice

[Dan Jacobson]

There it finally was, way down at like the 31st choice.

XX. The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     apt [2.7.12 (now)]
2)     apt-utils [2.7.12 (now)]
3)     at-spi2-core [2.50.0-1+b1 (now)]
4)     gir1.2-atk-1.0 [2.50.0-1+b1 (now)]
5)     libglib2.0-bin [2.78.4-1 (now)]
6)     libpam-modules [1.5.2-9.1+b1 (now)]
7)     libpam-modules-bin [1.5.2-9.1+b1 (now)]

First, there should be choice numbers shown, at point XX above.
Then in fact I could even easily say what choice it was. 31 is a guess.
OK, I'll file a separate bug about that.

Second, I was going too fast, with n RET n RET and ended up skipping
over it!

Thus we see you still need a "k" choice!

Sure, you are saying "hurry and send us the exact state of the package
system so we can recreate the issue."

But I'm saying it doesn't matter. Even if there was only one or two
choices before the all-keep choice popped up, there should always be my
proposed "k" option available.

And yes, "Well just use aptitide install ~U... _... ..._"
I am sure there are tons of workarounds. But that doesn't matter,
there still should be my proposed "k" short circuit choice!
