[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1087007: aptitude: TUI On-Line Help is incorrect for "g"

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-6.1
Severity: minor

In the TUI, when I type "?" from the main screen, I get

 Actions  Undo  Package  Resolver  Search  Options  Views  Help
C-T: Menu  ?: Help  q: Quit  u: Update  g: Preview/Download/Install/Remove Pkgs
                Packages                                  Help
                             Aptitude On-Line Help                             #
[...]
  "g":          Perform all pending installations, removals, and upgrades.     ▒
[...]

This is incorrect: typing "g" first goes to the Preview screen.
