[Aptitude-devel] Bug#836899: aptitude: dpkg - found unknown packages; this might mean the available database is outdated

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I was updating testing today. I got the following error while updating
testing today.

dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 32: libappstream3:amd64
dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 34: libprotobuf9v5:amd64
dpkg: warning: found unknown packages; this might mean the available database
is outdated, and needs to be updated through a frontend method

IIRC, in the last few versions, just running aptitude update was equal
to/equivalent to apt-get update which updated the apt package
database.

Please let me know if I'm understanding how things work wrongly.
