aptitude cli options vs. apt-get (esp. --ignore-hold option)

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I use the following line (borrowed from apticron) in a script to generate
a list of upgradable packages:

PKGNAMES=`apt-get -q -y -s --ignore-hold --allow-unauthenticated dist-upgrade | \
          /bin/grep ^Inst | /usr/bin/cut -d\  -f2 | /usr/bin/sort`

Now I would like to do the same with aptitude, so the user may pick which
program they prefer to install the available updates.
The aptitude equivalent I have come up with so far is:

PKGNAMES=`aptitude -v -y -s --allow-untrusted full-upgrade | \
          /bin/grep ^Inst | /usr/bin/cut -d\  -f2 | /usr/bin/sort`

I figure that probably --allow-untrusted does the same for aptitude as 
--allow-unauthenticated does for apt-get (?) , however from man aptitude I
cannot see anything like apt-get's --ignore-hold option.

So my question is: is there a way to include updates to packages put on
hold to the output of "aptitude full-upgrade" as in apt-get, that I have
been missing, or is this simply not possible?

Regards

Michael
