Hi Daniel,

I can reproduce this issue on raring amd64. Relevant seems that fdflush
is only available on i386.

Title:
  aptitude show doesn't work for some existing packages

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running "aptitude show fdflush" doesn't work, even though there's a
  package "fdflush". I checked my spelling very carefully. "apt-cache
  search fdflush" works fine. "aptitude show" works fine for other
  package names I tried it with.
