Indeed. This also seems to have an impact where buster changed from "testing" to "stable", see https://bugs.debian.org/931543. That's actually prompted by a change in libapt (as Sven already pointed out in #931543) which aptitude indeed hasn't been updated a for. I though must admit that we actually were aware of this issue as I ran into it with a third-party repo a few months ago, see https://bugs.debian.org/915246. But admittedly I totally underestimated its severity and especially also its impact at release time as I didn't think of that exactly the same will happen when Debian shifts all suite names at release time. Sorry for that. I hope that Manuel (CCc'ed) can provide a fix which we then can also apply to aptitude in Buster in the first minor update which is expected in about a month. The official workaround is to use "apt update" once inbetween, answer its questions (with "y" :-) and then continue to use aptitude.
