[Bug 879706] Re: aptitude shows double every package

[Xoby]

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)
