-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can also confirm this.
Situation: a lot of packages available for upgrade, some of them manually, and some automatically installed. Step 1: Mark all packages for upgrade; Step 2: Quit aptitude and start it again; Result: All upgradeable packages have state "iu"; Now comes the interesting part. Step 3: Mark all upgradeable packages auto-installed "iuA"; Step 4: Put all of them on hold; Result: The states are back to what they were before step 1. Note that this happens even though I marked all of them auto-installed. This does not seem to work if you mark only some of the packages (the marked ones still loose the state), or if you mark them on by one (you have to mark the section title (or whatever it is called) for upgrade). So it seems that the states are not forgotten, but rather the information about the sates is displayed incorrectly. Also this seems to be specific to 64-bit platforms, as everyone who can confirm this and included system information, are running 64-bit systems.
