Title:
  Forget new packages doesn't save its action

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
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.
