Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 11.10 x64, aptitude's GUI shows most packages "twice", while
actually on entry represents the x64 and one the IA32 architecture
package. There's no indication in the package list which is which,
however, which makes software administration much more confusing than
necessary...
Additionally, aptitude itself sometimes even seems to become confused
because of "duplicate" packages during dependency resolution which makes
aptitude hardly usable at all to resolve conflicts, but I'll report a
separate bug about this as soon as it happens again.
