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

[Patrick]

After an upgrade from Natty to Oneiric I am also affected.

I discovered two additional things:
1. Many or all packages appear twice. For an installed package the twin entry appears not to be installed.
2. After starting aptitude sometimes shows "New Packages (39593)", and sometimes "New Packages (19858)", while the numbers of (already seen) not installed packages changes vice versa. The number of installed packages is also changing by about factor 2.

Title:
  Forget new packages doesn't save its action

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
