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

[Joachim Durchholz]

The double packages are not duplicates, the packages have different sizes.
Unfortunately, aptitude does not show any other attribute that differs, so I have no idea what exactly is happening there; it could well be a multiarch issue. I took a handful of samples and it seemed that script-only packages were there only once, but that could be an accident.

I disabled the multiarch file by renaming it to .multiarch.
I got a lot of updates, plus it wanted to remove flashplugin-installer and nspluginwrapper, which didn't come unexpected.

However, adobe-flashplugin, while installing cleanly, will not make Youtube work again.
Installing flashplugin-installer would fail because it wanted flashplugin-downloader and nspluginwrapper.
I had to go to Adobe's page, which in turn sent me to Canonical's "partner" repository. Installing now, hopefully it will work...

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.
