Aptitude wish list item



After downloading the buggy openoffice suite for the 3rd time in the past month. I would like to propose a new feature for aptitude.

Instead of downloading all the packages, and then finding that manual installation will be required, how about aptitude running listbugs before the download starts and giving us the option to *not* download
the buggy packages.

I, for one, have a monthly download limit, exceeding that limit, costs a bunch of $. The proposed option would sure save me, and many others, a lot of hassle in addition a bit of $, Euro, Pounds, etc.

Thanks for listening.

Wayne
