Hi, The package 'libx264-78' is installed on my (Sid) system:
~# aptitude why libx264-78 i gnome-mplayer Depends mplayer (>= 1.0~) | mplayer-nogui (>= 1.0~) i A mplayer Depends libx264-78 (>= 1:0.svn20091101) Aptitude shows it in the 'Obsolete and Locally Created Packages' section. When I try to upgrade the system, aptitude (initially) suggests that I keep this package, but whenever I accept the suggestion, the package's status of 'automatically installed' goes away, and it becomes marked as manually installed (which is certainly not what I want, since I have no idea what the thing is - I just want mplayer to be happy). This doesn't seem to happen to most packages - does this have anything to do with the fact that it's 'obsolete' (i.e., currently not available in the archives)? Is this a bug?
