I tried to reproduce it with my versions installed (44) and no luck.

A shot in the dark, did you or do you have any of the rev-deps
installed?

	iceweasel-l10n-all, parl-desktop-eu, education-desktop-other,
	task-german-desktop

Strange question, but I was wondering if it's a bug coming from the
other way around, a rev-dep of those considering it automatically
installed when they aren't.


Cheers.
