aptitude: flags are 'state', 'action' and .... ?
Hi, here's some results from aptitude's search command:
dione$ aptitude search \!unmatchable | egrep -v '^[piv] '
i A amd64-libs - ...
dione$
The 'testing' of three weeks ago produced no output with
this command; indeed I have been using it as a way to
check that all packages were in a good state.
But then 'testing' of one week ago starts producing this
output. Actually it did it for two other packages, both
from gcc 3.4 (which I removed in favour of only having 3.3
installed).
I looked in /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README and found that
it seems to skip the subject:
2.8. Values of the current state flag
2.9. Values of the action flag
2.10. Customizable colors in aptitude
Current state is column 1 (the 'i'), the action is in
column 2 (the ' '), but what is in column 3 (the 'A')?
Thanks!
Alexis
