Agreed, it's a bug in aptitude (it seems to work okay if you start a terminal in reverse video mode rather than changing the colours), but how often do you see that purple when you aren't in aptitude? If it isn't often another alternative would be just to change that to something that contrasts better against the black. Cheers, Tom
