Title:
  aptitude search tells lies

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ aptitude search canberra
  <snip>
  p   libcanberra-gtk3-0     -  Gtk+ 3.0 helper for playing widget event sounds with libcanberra
  <snip>

  $ aptitude show libcanberra-gtk3-0
  Package: libcanberra-gtk3-0              
  New: yes
  State: installed
  <snip>

  Huh?  Is the package installed or not?  This also confuses zsh's tab
  completion.
