I would have filed 312923 if it hadn't already existed. Here, for what it's
worth, my story and how I was able to fix my problem.

The story:

I (root) got myself into quite some problem today with aptitude. One
upgrade somewhere in the general vicinity of KDE 3.4 lead to many package
removals because of missing dependencies in the general vicinity of KDE 3.3.

Closed it all down and went for lunch.

Came back, fired up aptitude again and was now looking for a way out.  In
the meantime, I had decided to be happy with KDE 3.3 for the time being.
How do I cancel all the changes I had previously entered?

Ctrl+u did not work.

"f" got me only so far - but still aptitude thought I wanted to remove many
packages from my system.

The fix:

In the end, I closed down aptitude and found a file
/var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates. The next thing I would have tried was, purge
and reinstall aptitude with apt-get, so what could I loose? I deleted that
file. - And, yes, that did solve my problem.

Regards, and thank you for providing fine software

Andreas
