Ubuntu :: Aptitude Keeps Showing Change Log?

I have a server that just recently started doing something that I have never seen before. I am running 10.04 and connecting over ssh.
Code:
root@www:~# aptitude full-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... 50%

Code:
$ aptitude s
sbin/ selinux/ server/ srv/ sys/
This is what happens when I hit TAB. It always showed "show" and "search" actions before... Why directories now?

I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?

For some time now I've been unable to see changelogs for packages to be upgraded in Wheezy,even trying with different mirrors in sources.list all I'm getting is this:
Code: Select allaptitude changelog iceweasel
Err Changelog of iceweasel
E: Changelog download failed: 404 Not Found [IP: 185.31.16.185 80]
Err Changelog of iceweasel
E: Changelog download failed: 404 Not Found [IP: 185.31.16.185 80]
E: Couldn't find a changelog for iceweasel
[Code] ....
Is there maybe some specific reasons why I can't get changelogs before applying the updates? I know I can review them afterwards,it's just that I would find convenient to have a look before updating.

When I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output of xrandr when the laptop is connected:

I need to run Opencv 1.1 or lower to be compatible with the systems at my University where most of my work is done. 9.10 allowed 1.1 through apt, but before that I remember all kinds of nightmares getting OpenCV to run with FFMPEG. If I go back to self-installing 1.1, am I going to have a repeat of those nightmares? I guess a better way to phrase it, is there any way to get opencv 1.1 through aptitude?

What's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? Could I use either to effectively update my system? (ie. do "apt-get update" and "aptitude update" do the same thing?)

I read somewhere that it's not a good idea to mix the use of apt-* (eg. apt-get, apt-file, etc.) and "aptitude". I guess they're not using the same database to keep track of things.Problem is, they don't offer the same features:"apt-get safe-upgrade" doesn't exist, so have to use "aptitude safe-upgrade"."aptitude show/list mypackage" doesn't show the files that an uninstalled package (ie. still in depot) contains, so have to use "apt-file show mypackage".

So, aptitude has been remove from Maverick. I realise I can just install it if I wish to use it over apt-get, but is this this a sign that I should really be using apt-get now instead?

I am trying to install postfix but there seems to be an old install of qmail hanging on to port 25. I cannot see qmail in aptitude and I can't see any way to uninstall it.
result from:
# ps auxww | grep qmail
root 4907 0.0 0.0 3724 416 ? S 09:08 0:00 supervise qmail-qmqpd
[Code].....
It seems to be "tcpserver" which is listing on port 25.
Is there any way I can free port 25 and allow postfix to listen on it?

How do I use apt-get or aptitude to tell me what updated packages are available for my system? I'm moving over from Gentoo where I had a cron job that would run a command whose output was a list of available updates. I had this and other system related info emailed to me. I'd like to duplicate that under Ubuntu, but I can't find a way get the available updates.

Since 11.04 was released, I've used it in Gnome and now also KDE, and this problem is in both. Aptitude is completely unusable. The main issue is that when downloading packages, it disconnects every minute if not every half a minute, making package installing a very hard process and making the configuration of a new OS take days (just to install 1GB of packages). Ontop of the disconnections, aptitude doesn't even want to go full speed when it IS connected.
The other issues involve repositories. Whether it's the official Ubuntu package servers, ANY of its many mirrors, or even my own custom PPAs, connecting to ANY repository when I reload my packages is a hit-or-miss, and it's completely impossible to get them all in one refresh (in fact, I don't think I've been able to access the main server since upgrading. Ever. I've been on the US server). This makes installing all of my packages take even LONGER. Also, to add insult to injury, the list files in /var/lib/apt/lists constantly corrupt themselves and make themselves unusable, ESPECIALLY the PPA lists (anything that uses launchpad has to be disabled at all times unless I have to update its program, or else I have to delete those list files every day).
Googling any of these issues separately gets me nowhere, so I'm making a topic, and it better not be the millionth topic I've made here that never got solved. The problem can't be my router or modem because my brother runs aptitude just fine on his 11.04 laptop. This issue is within my computer.
I meant apt-get. You mean they aren't the same program with two ways to run them? Yes, apt-get is the problemed one. I never actually type "aptitude" into the Terminal. As a consequence, Synaptic and KPackageKit and any other apt-get-using program is messed up as well.

I've been trying for a long while to figure out why aptitude overwrites /etc/sudoers ? Each time I run
$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
my /etc/sudoers is reset. This is really annoying because I have it setup so that mythtv can shutdown and restart automatically. The line in /etc/sudoers that gets deleted is:
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/mythshutdown, /bin/sh, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh, /
sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown
When the line is missing my Ubuntu 10.04 does not shut down at all because of missing rights to do so. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I thought /etc-files were sacred for others than root, but it seems I'm wrong. Of course I have edited sudoers with visudo.

I'm trying to install Apache2+PHP5+MySQL-cluster on a Ubuntu 10.10 server. I've done many installs like this but with just plain MySQL so this is my first time using mysql-cluster. After getting mysql-cluster working I went back and installed the packages for apache and php5, but somehow I forgot to install the php5-mysql package (not sure how I missed that!) so when I got back to install it it tells me it wants to uninstall mysql-cluster. The "error" I see is:
mysql-cluster-client will be automatically removed because of dependency errors:
* mysql-cluster-client depends on mysql-cluster-client-5.1 [universe]
I put a lot of time in to get mysql-cluster working and don't want to lose it. How do I tell aptitude to just leave it alone and install the php5-mysql package?

i installed a package with dpkg --install and told it to ignore an unmet dependency because the package it depended on could not be installed with apt-get (it was a perl module) and i have manually installed the perl module, it works... however every time i do "apt-get upgrade" or anything like that it wants to remove the package i forced to install because it still thinks there are unmet dependencies, is there a way to either tell it to ignore that the package has unmet dependencies (i mean ignore that always, not something i will have to add every time i use aptitude) or is there a way to convince it that the package it thinks is missing (the unmet dependency) is actually met.

I'm currently experiencing a problem when trying to upgrade my system through aptitude (apt-get *). I can install programs, but whenever it tries do anything with the kernel I get this error:
E: linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
This started about a month ago when I was trying to install some upgrade (with apt) which stalled and I unknowingly shut down the comp while it was running.

I stopped using ubuntu for a while at 9.04 (went to mint and came back) because it was not installing properly. I thought it had aptitude in it then, but I did not have it after installing 10.10 (installed it twice it is not on either). I am just wondering why, even debian includes aptitude.

Did a fresh install of 10.04 Desktop 86_64 this weekend. One of the first issues I noticed right away was that apt was not function properly. Say for example you install the packages tor and vidalia (assume I'm running everything from root). #apt-get install tor vidalia This command will check and install necessary dependencies, for example 'privoxy'. Now if you decide that you don't want to use privoxy and instead use polipo, you would probably feel inclined to remove privoxy. Well I found that apt-get autoremove, apt-get remove, apt-get purge WILL NOT remove all the files/directories associated with the package. You'll find that after running each of these commands, there will still be directories, scripts, etc. in /etc/init, /etc, and /etc/rc*.d. The only solution I've found to completely removing a package is aptitude purge [package].
