Bug Description

Hello,

i think there's a typo in string #2009.

In this sentence: ....and then press the <keycap>U</keycap> key to mark all packages .....

The U key should be a lowercase letter such as others key indicator.

Regards.

I have never used aptitude before. To try to confirm this bug report, I used it just now on a virtual machine.
I conclude that the entire paragraph is wrong, not just the "U" verses "u", which isn't required at all.
Based on the earlier "sudo aptitude" command from earlier, we are already running as root, so that part about root password is not required. It is just "g", "g", ..., ENTER, after the preceeding step.

I'll set to confirmed, and see if I can change the title.

Hmmm... I am checking again, as I edit the source file, and the Capitol "U" is required... I had assumed it did nothing before, but I guess it does set the selection.

It looks as though this section was originally written for aptitude run without "sudo". While I have fixed this particular paragraph, most of the other need fixing also. I'll enter a new bug report for the rest.
