Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: important

Like many people, I have a local repository in a flat directory, managed
by apt-ftp-archive.  The latest aptitude version triggers an internal
apt error trying to install packages from this repository and also
messes up the terminal, introducing a "staircase" effect (the error
message itself comes from libapt-pkg, see apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc in the
apt source):

,----
| $ LANG=C sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-4.5.0-rc6-nouveau

| $ echo $?

`----

Downgrading aptitude (and aptitude-common) to 0.7.6-1 fixes this.

By the way, here's the apt policy for the package in question:

,----
| $ LANG=C apt-cache policy linux-image-4.5.0-rc6-nouveau
