Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9
After a fresh install of Debian 3.1, using ftp://mirrors.kernel.org as the
source for the net-install, "aptitude upgrade" at the command line fails
after modifying sources.list from "stable" to "testing" and commenting out
the security repository line. No other changes to the system were made.
Running "apt-get upgrade" works fine and running "aptitude" then hitting "u"
works fine. I've seen emails which say this bug was handled in version
0.2.14, but it does not seem to be the case. Very simple to reproduce with
a fresh install, modifying sources.list to testing, and running "aptitude
update" at the command line.

[Retitling because of that.]
I just installed Sarge from the Debian archive into a chroot and could
reproduce this issue. With "failing" Jamens meant the following:

I.e. aptitude doesn't find the package lists after downloading them
the first time, but everything's fine already when running "aptitude
update" ("Hit" means, the file is uptodate.)

Indeed.

It was also easy to reproduce with the command "rm
/var/lib/apt/lists/*dists_etch_main_binary-*"
Anyway, the issue seems to have been fixed for next release, Etch.
Closing accordingly.
