aptitude and apt-listbugs



hi guys,

i use aptitude and listbugs in sid. during update/upgrade aptitude loads the bug list and displays all of them. i have 2 questions regarding this:

1) it should be possible to view any of the bugs (to see whether they are related to the version i want to upgrade to). help indicates, that writing down the number of the bug should be enough:

Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]  ?
     y     - continue the apt installation.
     n     - stop the apt installation.
   <num>   - query the specified bug number (uses querybts).
     r     - redisplay bug lists.
 p <pkg..> - make pkgs pinned: need to restart apt to enable.
 p         - make all the above pkgs pinned. need to restart.
 i <num>   - make bug_number <num> ignored.
     ?     - print this help.
     w     - display bug lists in html (uses sensible-browser).

however writing down the bug number in any form doesn't display anything.

2) is it possible to tell aptitude not to install only packages affected by the bugs, but continue to install the other? if i do Y on the prompt, it seems to install everything. if i do N, then the whole procedure stops...

thank you for information. regards,
