• Bug#1068097: Please provide a way to open a shell from aptitude

    From Josh Triplett@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 30 16:00:01 2024
    Package: aptitude
    Version: 0.8.13-6
    Severity: wishlist

    Sometimes, when things go horribly wrong in an upgrade (e.g. in the
    recent t64 transition if a library disappears and makes dpkg and sudo
    and su unrunnable), it would help to have a root shell available. In
    such circumstances, sometimes it would avoid the need for a rescue
    system if aptitude provided a means of starting a shell.

    Thank you.
