Sure, that is why you can say Bjoern, which is the correct
transliteration. But NOT Bjorn, that is not my name, so please stop
using it. :-)

Oh, ok. Could you maybe elaborate more on this? What else does this
do, except selecting "Keep" for all packages and thus doing nothing
more than I select it manually to do?

What does it different than changing all unwanted updates to "Keep"
manually in the package list?

Indeed, no objection here. But still I find it strange that "Cur"
selects 2.0.4, while it is not selectable manually in the "New"
column.

Sure, that is what I described. But I don't update the packages often,
as I always have open a dozen bashes or so, and don't want to close
all because of update of files in use. So there are a lot of packages
to deselect. But --packages ftw. :-)

Sorry
