[Bug 205915] Re: Hardy aptitude prints duplicate "already installed" packages

[Daniel Hartwig]

Due to the internal processing model of command-line actions, this
applies to most warnings and status messages that can occur during
install, upgrade, remove, forbid-version, etc.

Other examples:

Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "foo"
Package foo is not upgradable, cannot forbid an upgrade
