Subject: aptitude: Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit is ignored if Aptitude::UI::Flat-View-As-First-View is set to true

Date: Sun, 07 Feb 2016 20:08:31 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3

Hi,

if I call either 'aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i" -o
"Aptitude::UI::Flat-View-As-First-View=true"' or 'aptitude -o
"Aptitude::UI::Flat-View-As-First-View=true" -o
"Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i"' (i.e. order is not relevant), the
value of Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit is ignored and set to "!~v" which
is the default for flat views.

IMHO that default should be overridable on the command line.

Just a note (for explanation, and future fixes) to say that maybe this
is related or side effect of the more general problem of -o in the
command line not always working -- but not merging since I am not sure.

Indeed. I thought of that bug report, too, when writing this one, but
I wasn't sure if it's related either.

It was just ignoring ::Pkg-Display-Limit, fixed now.

Not related to the other problem, in the end.
