Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1
Severity: normal

I type 'U', and get for "linux-libc-dev:i386":

Some dependencies of linux-libc-dev:i386 are not satisfied:                    ▒
                                                                               ▒

I don't understand why linux-libc-dev:i386 is removed, since
linux-libc-dev is kept to its current version.

Then in this new screen, for "linux-libc-dev:i386":

linux-libc-dev:i386 will be automatically removed because of dependency errors:▒

and no dependency errors are listed. Indeed, this is because aptitude
was wrong when deciding to remove it. And I can type '+' on it to
cancel the removal without any error.

I've attached the status files.
