The problem is that Ubuntu 11.10 supports multiarch (32 bit packages on a 64 bit architecture) but aptitude does not.
As a temporary solution you can comment "foreign-architecture i386" in "/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch" to be able to use aptitude (and uncomment if you need to install 32 bits packages) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879706 Title: aptitude shows double every package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/879706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
