Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.0-1 (NOT the same as #506502) Forbids and holds are chucked to the winds in this certain full-upgrade:
# aptitude -v forbid-version libdrm-intel1 libdrm2 #same with "hold" # aptitude -y full-upgrade The following packages are BROKEN: dict dictd dictzip The following packages will be upgraded: libdrm-intel1 libdrm2 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx 7 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 260kB/14.1MB of archives. After unpacking 3146kB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: dictzip: Depends: libmaa1 (>= 1.1.0) which is a virtual package. dict: Depends: libmaa1 (>= 1.1.0) which is a virtual package. dictd: Depends: libmaa1 (>= 1.1.0) which is a virtual package.

I'm offline at the moment. It clearly just used the /var/cache/apt/archives copies I had. The 260kB must be some rounding error which in fact should be 0. Anyway, if forbids and holds are to be ignored upon full-upgrade, it should be mentioned on the man page. It turns out one must forbid all four of the lib* packages above, not just two, for them to really stay off our system during full-upgrade.
