Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
Justification: breaks 'pbuilder build' for woody packages that build-depend on
debhelper
I have a system that has pbuilder installed which provides me with an up to
date woody chroot (using up to date sources
deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib
non-free
):
pbuilder update --distribution woody
pbuilder login --distribution woody
In this environment, I get strange behaviour from apt:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
