You must have a crontab entry that says "sudo aptitude update".

Sounds like a bad time spec in your crontab.
# field descriptions
# minute (0-59),
# hour (0-23),
# day of the month (1-31),),
# month of year (1-12),
# day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday).
Therefore the following would run once a minute. This is only an
example based upon your report.
* * * * * sudo aptitude update

How can you say with a straight face that nothing has changed and yet
also say that you are running Sid?

$ sudo crontab -l
$ find /etc/cron.* -type f -exec grep "aptitude.*update" {} +
