Not quite what you are looking for, but if you are hestitant to upgrade gratuitously, it helps you decide what is a worthwhile update. Another handy tool is apt-listbugs, which queries the BTS for bugs that are open against the package and show them to you. However, I don't think that it integrates well, or even at all, with aptitude. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
