Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.1-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The sum in aptitude is wrong. See below:
New packages: 21828
Instaled: 692
Not instaled: 165
New packages must be a low number like 42, 75, 29... And not instaled
must be a big number like 20532, 19897, 20013...
P.S. Aptitude shows correctly in x86 architecture.

Hi,
The number of installed packages doesn't show anything absurd like "30
packages", so overall doesn't seem to be anything particularly wrong
about the counts.
I think that this condition can easily happen. Didn't check if these
possibilities are causing trouble now (low bandwidth at the moment),
but I seem to recall that it happened to me when doing the following
things. For example:
- if one switches from one mirror to another when the package names
provided are very different, e.g. from oldstable to unstable
- or disabling main by mistake (leaving only contrib and non-free),
updating package lists, and then enabling the main section again
- disabling the main mirror temporarily and leaving only
"debian-multimedia.org" (in the original bug report), updating, and
then enabling the main mirror again,
- or going from small cdrom (netinstall) to http, or similar action,
until aptitude is instructed to "forget new packages".
So:
- I can't see anything wrong with this, per se, for the reasons stated above
- Daniel Burrows doesn't seem either (although perhaps he's not
understanding the question at all)
- the submitter didn't provide any information in 5 years (despite
dburrows replying within 40 minutes!)
- even if the bug was real, I haven't seen it under normal
circumstances in many years nor there are similar bug reports open,
the bug seems pretty minor, and if it keeps happening and bugs
someone, s/he will hopefully provide more information that can lead to
fixing the issue
Thus closing the bug report now, please reopen if you have any concerns.
Cheers.
