Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
aptitude seems to be unable to forget about "NEW" packages.
root@localhost:/etc# aptitude search "~N"
i libgnutls26 - GNU TLS library -
runtime library
p u-boot - A boot loader for
embedded systems
root@localhost:/etc# aptitude forget-new
root@localhost:/etc# aptitude search "~N"

i've only seen this behaviour on a single machine. all others behave as
expected.
however, i haven't found anything special on this machine (nothing in
apt/preferences.c; apt/apt.conf.d doesn't look special either).
running aptitude with a higher verbosity, doesn't reveal anything either:
root@localhost:/etc# aptitude -v -v forget-new -v -v
root@localhost:/etc#
