Hi,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.4-1.2
Severity: important
Aptitude suggests removal of 284 packages in favor of keeping
update-inetd at version 4.40 which it complains as being held, which
is not true. Corresponding attachment aptitude_bug.
As noted in another reply to this bug report, aptitude doesn't complaint
about update-inetd being held as in "having a hold", but on being "kept
back" (i.e. not considered for upgrade) in the given resolution attempt.
Also, aptitude states perl-base: Conflicts: update-inetd, but this's
not written in aptitude show perl-base.
As noted in yet another reply, perl (5.14.2-6) added a conflicts with
"update-inetd (<< 4.41)".
apt-get, Synaptic and other apt implementation's behavior is to
upgrade update-inetd instead as show in file apt-get_output.
So this is indeed the problem, aptitude usually offers solutions
involving the removal of many packages before others in which
update-inetd is upgraded.
Cheers.
