aptitude: cancel intended install

[Richard Hector <richard@walnut.gen.nz>]

Hi all,

If I use:

# aptitude search ~ainstall

I get a list of packages that are marked for installation, but are
currently not installed.

If I pick one of those, and use:

# aptitude remove <package>

then the above search, that package is no longer in the list. All good.

However, if I use:

# aptitude remove ~ainstall

That doesn't remove all those packages from the list. Is that a bug? Is
there another way to cancel these planned installations? I think that's
doable with interactive aptitude, but I'd rather stick with the
commandline if I can.

Thanks,

Richard
