OK. I went looking around, and found bug 64814 with a similar symptom, but with apt.
In there there was a suggestion to delete /var/lib/apt/extended_states. I then decided to to the same with the aptitude equivalent -- /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates. Deleted it, run aptidude update && aptitude dist-upgrade and... nothing to be removed anymore. So. For me, this is solved. I am not going to reject it myself, since I do not know what you would want to do -- perhaps document something? Since this laptop has suffered Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy (and a move from KDE to Gnome in early Feisty), it might very well have gotten a not-so- perfect version of something, and it just happened that I seldom use aptitude. -- aptitude wants to commit suicide (and take all system with it) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
