Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.13-2
Severity: minor
Moi!
dpkg has this feature that makes a package disappear when another
package replaces all the files in the first one. Which is rather neat
for certain types of updates. aptitude apparently isn't aware of this
feature and tries to re-install the disappeared package until it is
'aptitude remove'-ed by hand.
Regards,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

I think that this is another manifestation of bug #328616, trying to
install packages that disappearead from dpkg ("selected state:
unknown"), which was fixed in the version mentioned above.
If not, please reopen and clarify, if possible with an example of such a
package.
Cheers.
