Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.10-1
Severity: normal
During the last weeks I noticed the following behavior: if "aptitude
safe-upgrade" does not find a package which is actually safe to upgrade,
it does not bail out but prefers to update at least one package
anyway -- even if that package is on "hold" or "forbid" or would pull in
a lot of dependencies. Here is an example (I already did a successful
safe-upgrade today):
,----

`----
This is with icedove's version being forbidden:
,----
| $ aptitude show icedove | grep -i forbid
| Forbidden version: 2.0.0.9-3
`----
After that, I put icedove-locale-de on hold, and now the result is
different, but not better:
