Reason this option is not enabled by default is, as I understand it, that a) downgrades are officially unsupported (in reality they commonly work, but beware of this and make sure to mention you did a downgrade if reporting bugs!), and b) it is arguably illogical to meet a request for updating with a default solution of doing anything _but_ update. - Jonas P.S. One backdraw of aptitude is that it is slower to start than apt or apt-get. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
