Perhaps it should be doing that, but it certainly doesn't here. Maybe there's a configuration option that toggles that behaviour? I can't find one though. Is there anything I can do to trace why that might not be happening? However, that's not really the main thrust of the bug report: that was just example to recreate the bug. The point is that if aptitude cannot install packages for whatever reason (out of disk space, DB not lockable, a conflict, etc.), then it should retain the selections one has made: it's irritating to have them lost because of a problem with (potentially) just one package. Since this is a usability bug, though, I've no objections if you want to lower it to minor rather than normal.
