Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.5.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #432017
The following listing demonstrates that the auto status is being
removed when an action is scheduled instead of being performed
immediately. This didn't happen in Etch, or in the aptitude in Sid a
few months ago.

Similarly, packages that were scheduled for upgrade and marked auto
lost their auto status when they were deferred implicitly by the
piecemeal upgrade command
aptitude install ~i~nlibc6+
In the past I would have written
aptitude upgrade ~i~nlibc6
but upgrade no longer takes arguments (nor does safe-upgrade).
