About the patch: Perl really isn't my language of choice, so I must admit that I quickly used up all my patience, when I looked in AptPkg::Cache to determine what could be causing the problem I experienced. So "naturally" I didn't find it there - I did however notice that the output from apt-cache seemed to be sorted in a descending order. So changing 'pop' to 'shift' was basically an educated guess. But maybe it should be considered doing a sort in debtree on the VersionList array, instead of blindly assuming the sort order returned from AptPkg? - especially since there doesn't seem to be any documents stating what the sort order is supposed to be.
