yes, of course. i just meant that the message dpkg/apt prints out somehow indicates that it should be able to get the full bug description and print it out...however writing down the bug number in any form doesn't display anything.http://www.debian.org/Bugs/
2) is it possible to tell aptitude not to install only packages affected by the bugs, but continue to install the other?If thereare one or more packages I don't want to install, I press 'N'. Then I start aptitude with no parameters, select the package, and (1) "forbid" installation of that version by pressing 'F'; or (2) "hold" the package by pressing '='. Repeat as desired.
thanks that is exactly what i needed to know. :)
if i do Y on the prompt, it seems to install everything. if i do N, then the whole procedure stops...At that prompt, I think it's all or nothing.
it seems to be so... thanks, -- Lubos _@_"
