[Aptitude-devel] Bug#782777: aptitude: marks certain packages as "new" and "not auto-installed" on every start of aptitude

Fri Apr 17 17:19:27 UTC 2015

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Since the last upgrade of apt (1.0.9.7 -> 1.0.9.8) the following happens
reproducably in aptitude every time it's started:

The packages below are displayed as "new" (even if I forget all new packages
then) and as not auto-installed (even if I mark them again to be).

Next start, and it's again like below (without and update in the meantime)

--\ New Packages (13)
  --\ debug - Debugging symbols (11)
    --\ main - The main Debian archive (11)
