[Aptitude-devel] Bug#836708: aptitude: refuses to upgrade packages, 'g' says "Actions: no changes"

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal

In the UI, I've selected various packages for upgrade; I can see
no breakages. But the 'g' key doesn't have any effect, it just
says: "[1(1)/...] Actions: no changes" with no explanations.

Quitting aptitude and retarting it doesn't solve the problem.
Neither does trying "Next".

Here's the log from

  aptitude --log-file=/tmp/aptitude.log --log-level=info
