Display some available commands at the top of the screen

If this option is enabled, a brief summary of some of the most important aptitude commands will appear beneath the menu bar.

If this option is enabled, the menu bar will only appear when it has been activated by pressing the menu key.

Use a minibuffer-style prompt when possible

If this option is enabled, prompts will be displayed in a single line at the bottom of the screen. If not, prompts will be displayed as pop-up dialog boxes.

If this option is enabled, aptitude will perform searches within the package list as you type them. This is convenient, but may slow the program down, particularly on older computers.

If this option is enabled, aptitude will stop running when all views (package lists, package details, etc) have been closed. Otherwise, aptitude will continue running until you select 'Quit' from the Actions menu.

If this option is enabled, aptitude will not terminate until you confirm that you really want to quit.

This option controls whether aptitude will wait for confirmation after a download before it goes ahead and installs packages.

Never wait for the user after downloading packages: always begin the installation immediately.

Wait for confirmation if an error occurred during the download. If there were no errors, begin installing packages immediately.

Always wait for the user to confirm the download before proceeding with the installation.

Use a 'status-line' download indicator for all downloads

If this option is enabled, aptitude will display the status of ongoing downloads at the bottom of the screen, rather than opening a new view.

Advance to the next item after changing the state of a package

If this option is enabled, then performing an action on a package (for instance, installing or removing it) will move the selection to the next package in the list.

Automatically show why packages are broken

If this option is enabled, then highlighting a package that has broken dependencies will automatically display the dependencies that are unfulfilled in the lower pane of the display.

This option controls how aptitude organizes the package list. See the aptitude user's manual for information on how to specify a grouping method.

By default, the limit of each package view will be set to the value specified by this option. See the aptitude user's manual for detailed information about searches.

The display format for package views

This option controls how aptitude formats lines of the package list. See the aptitude user's manual for information on how to specify a display format.

The display format for the status line

This option controls how aptitude formats the status line (the line between the package list and the lower pane). See the aptitude user's manual for information on how to specify a display format.

The display format for the header line

This option controls how aptitude formats the header line (the line above the package list). See the aptitude user's manual for information on how to specify a display format.

Automatically upgrade installed packages

If this option is enabled, then on startup, aptitude will select all upgradable packages for upgrade.

If this option is enabled, then when you ask aptitude to perform an install run, it will first display a summary of the actions it is going to perform.

Forget which packages are "new" whenever the package lists are updated

If this option is enabled, then aptitude will clear the list of new packages after you update the package lists (e.g., by pressing 'u').

Forget which packages are "new" whenever packages are installed or removed

If this option is enabled, then aptitude will clear the list of new packages after you perform an install run or install or remove packages from the command-line.

Do not display a warning when the first change is made in read-only mode

If this option is %Bnot%b enabled, aptitude will display a warning when you modify the state of a package if you do not have permissions to apply the change to the system.

Warn when attempting to perform a privileged action as a non-root user

If this option is enabled, aptitude will warn you when you attempt to perform an action which you do not have permission to do: for instance, installing packages as a non-root user. You will be given the option to log in as root and perform the action with root privileges.

File to log actions into

When you install or remove packages, a summary of what aptitude does will be written to this file. If the first character of the file name is a pipe character ('%B|%b'), the remainder of the name will be interpreted as a shell command that is to receive the log on standard input.

Automatically resolve dependencies of a package when it is selected

If this option is enabled, aptitude will use a simple heuristic to immediately resolve the dependencies of each package you flag for installation. This is much faster than the built-in dependency resolver, but may produce suboptimal results or fail entirely in some scenarios.

If this option is enabled, packages that are automatically installed and that no manually installed package depends on will be removed from the system. Cancelling the removal will flag the package as manually installed. If this option is enabled and "Install recommended packages automatically" is enabled, automatically installed packages will not be removed if any installed package recommends them.

Packages that should never be automatically removed

Packages matching this search pattern will always be treated as if an installed package depends on them: they will never be targeted for removal as unused packages.

Unable to resolve dependencies.
