Yikes, 140 held packages
I noticed this command posted for another recent thread:
aptitude search ~ahold
I was curious so ran it myself. I was shocked to see quite a bunch of
held packages.. 140 to be exact. Are there any circumstances that
would warrant such a high count?
I'm running wheezy on 32 bit P4 3.02 Ghz and 2gb ram. I've been
following along with the update notices so should be pretty up to
date.
