[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1142235: aptitude 0.8.13 bug report

[enno deimel]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13

Aptitude has downloaded Update Package files, but doesn't install them.

I start as root in the console typing 'aptitude' Enter, that presents
me the TIA, I hit 'u' for 'update', it rolls down some lines but very
fast, then presents me the normal overview.  I hit 'g g' to start the
installation (as so often in th past)...

When I activate 'Continue': Shortly 'Loading Cache', then switches to
white foreground on red background, saying:

[Switching back to white foreground and black background:]
This group contains 108 packages.
Also I cannot 'Cancel pending actions', all the packages that were to
update before stay as they are.

And it doesn't log anything either, doesn't even create a log file.
This behaviour devellopped just a about two months ago, before it
worked perfectly for several months.  And I haven't changed any of the
supporting programs either...
I hit Ok, and am back with the Overview stating that there are 108
Security Updates and the rest.

Brgds, Enno.
