Changelogs in apt

#1 Post by Keren_Sky »

Hello all,
Silly question this probably, but here goes. In apt-get nowadays the changelog for a package is displayed like this

Code: Select all

xkeyboard-config (1.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * The current defaults do not enable the traditional
    Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination to kill the X server. If you
    would like to re-enable this feature, you may do so in your
    desktop's Keyboard Preferences application. You may also enable it
    for the current session using the command
    "setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".

for example. How do I close that and proceed with the installation? Ctrl+c just drops back to the prompt.
Thanks!

Press q. Just like in most Unix programs, q exits - less, more, man, info etc.
Because let’s face it, the unfortunate aspect of software development is that it involves humans. Mewling, disorganized, miserably analog humans. Sometimes they smell bad.
