Actually, I tried
aptitude --force-things confold safe-upgrade
aptitude --force-things=confold safe-upgrade
aptitude --force-confold safe-upgrade
and all gave the same "aptitude: unrecognized option"
but gave me the opportunity to discover the "Super Cow Powers" and
all the "aptitude -v moo" gags (.
What was missing was the -o flag. With it, both works:
aptitude -o --force-things=confold safe-upgrade
and
aptitude -o --force-confold safe-upgrade
