Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.0.1-1
Severity: normal

On my system, I have mawk and original-awk installed, whereas gawk is
not.  The only package that depends on any awk whatsoever is base-files,
which has a pre-dependency.  This pre-dependency is satisfied by both
mawk and original-awk.  However, aptitude seems to want to install gawk
to satisfy this dependency and insists on trying to do so every time I
mark packages for upgrade.

Obviously, since the sole dependency (including recommends and suggests)
is satisfied, there is no reason for aptitude to attempt to install
gawk.  This is irksome because I really do not want gawk installed.

I think aptitude should not try to install gawk if the dependency is
already satisfied (and will remain so).
