Package: aptitude

Version: 0.4.6.1-1



When a package recommends a forbidden package that package is installed anyway.



On my system I use pdnsd for dns caching.  pdnsd recommends resolvconf, which 
kills my internet connection.  resolvconf is forbidden for this reason.  
However, any time I upgrade pdnsd, resolvconf gets selected too.  The only way 
around this is to manually deselect resolvconf any time I update pdnsd.



To reproduce:

In Aptitude, enter resolvconf package page

Highlight version 1.37 and press F to forbid

Status should show pF

In the main package list set pdnsd to be installed

Press G to go to the confirmation screen

resolvconf will be listed as a package to be installed even though it is 
forbidden.
