Curious. I have absolutely never experienced that although I do intermix use of apt-get with aptitude. There are reports of small scale problems like this, but they only ever have mentioned one or two packages which were previously installed/removed by aptitude. I will attempt to recreate this and look in to it. Do you have something like apticron or cron-apt installed which may be scheduling updates with aptitude? Please attach also the output from: $ sudo apt-config dump -c /root/.aptitude/config -c ~/.aptitude/config -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503765 Title: aptitude pkgstates gets corrupted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/503765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
