[Aptitude-devel] Bug#668912: aptitude marks random packages are manually installed.

[dE .]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: grave

There's no specific pattern in which this happens, an aptitude run just 
for searching a package may mark packages manually installed.

In the previous upgrade that I did (KDE 4.6 to 4.7), blocks were caused 
cause aptitude marked random un-necessary packages as manually installed 
on each run of full-upgrade, I had to do manual inspection to fix the 
issues.

As of the current time, aptitude update marks libxine1-xvdr as manually 
installed. Attaching output of aptitude --simulate search '~i' | grep 
--invert-match '^i A' before and after update. Check the diffs.

I'm also attempting to reproduce this bug, I've backed up the updated 
install, and will see what happen after a full-upgrade.
