Problem was aptitude considering multi-arch packages to be the same. You would get varying results for the status based upon which package it encountered first in the search.
Here libc-bin was reported incorrectly: $ aptitude-0.6.5 search libc-bin$ libc6$ p libc-bin - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries i A libc6 - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries The full list shows this ok: $ aptitude search libc-bin$ libc6$ i libc-bin - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries p libc-bin:armel - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries i libc6 - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries i A libc6:armel - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884945 Title: aptitude show wrong package state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptitude/+bug/884945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
