[Bug 845136] Re: Forget new packages doesn't save its action

[mightymouse2045]

I have the same problem - removing the multiarch file then breaks
aptitude and requires to remove the 2 packages mentioned above.

I didn't do that because of the Joachim Durchholz's problems
reinstalling and getting flash working again. But it is annoying having
2 packages listed and it is also causing dependency problems with other
apps.

I noticed a few in libsensors4 and lmsensors were listed as being
upgradeable but required manual intervention to get them upgraded.

Also and after removing the multiarch an rrd package? was then saying it
was ready for an upgrade which I couldn't do because of the 2 flash
packages being broken and once i put the multiarch file back it was
saying that it was the latest version?!?!

At one point today I had 88 packages that were saying they needed to be
removed after doing the upgrades that came out today, then after closing
aptitude and opening it a few times the 88 apps were fixed? and no
longer required being removed... or did I accidentally remove them coz
I'm a noob with aptitude I DUNNO NOW! Shizen! It's freaking me out - do
I continue forward configuring my system and installing apps I need only
to get further and further into crap with the software databbase and
have to do a full system rebuild yet again (the 3rd this freakin week!)

Seems this is pointing to some serious issues - but I hope they are able
to be resolved without screwing up my system!

Title:
  Forget new packages doesn't save its action

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Since I've upgraded to Oneiric, the "Forget new packages" menu options
  doesn't save its change.

  I'll do 'f' (or use the menu, doesn't matter) once, and the 'New
  Packages' section will be removed.

  But if I quit and reopen, or simply do an upgrade, when it comes back
  to the main screen. The 'New Packages' section is back, like if I
  never used the option in the first place.
