Hi,

Actually I don't think that the bug happens now as stated in the
original report and the issue has been fixed, but I don't know if the
same problem reappears under some conditions.

Looking for to the show output of the 81 upgradable packages in my
system right know, it says "installed" for all of them, so I think
that this has been fixed and the report can be closed.

Could you please do some checks and see if you are satisfied with the
result, or otherwise explain what you would like to see?

# aptitude show $(aptitude search '~U' -F '%p') | grep ^State | uniq -c
     81 State: installed

=========

# apt-cache policy apt
apt:
  Installed: 0.9.14.2
