Title:
  Aptitude doesn't respect my order not to upgrade particular packages

Status in aptitude package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  I have wine and wine-gecko versions from Karmic as in Lucid versions there is a bug causing Heroes of Might and Magic III to crash:
  http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20380
  It worked till today, now aptitude wants to upgrade these packages. When I invoke:
  $ sudo aptitude install wine= wine-gecko=
  then the first invocation of:
  $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
  ends without a notice about wine update. However, the second attempt asks about it.

  It worked correctly before so either sth changed and I haven't noticed
  it or there is some kind of regression.
