Title:
  pbuilder uses aptitude but does not depend on it

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pbuilder

  Daily builds for Maverick fail because pdbuilder-satisfydepends uses
  aptitude but the pbuilder package doesn't depend on aptitude.  This is
  a problem now that aptitude is no longer part of ubuntu-minimal.

  This is the root cause of Bug #599102, but I am filing a new bug
  because we can solve the superficial issue by simply installing
  aptitude ourselves.
