working with nano

[Linux for blind general discussion]

archlinux has nano version 2.84 on it now.
Syntax for aptitude is first
aptitude update<cr> then
aptitude safe-upgrade<cr>
That should get you updates without breaking anything and will let you 
know which packages were held back.
If you want to find out why packages were held back
aptitude why packagename<cr> ought to get that done.
