Probably /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates -- to make it completely reproducible, I think that at least /var/lib/dpkg/status and the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists and /etc/apt will also be necessary. > > Whatever else happened, I'm sure that aptitude didn't write your bug > > report for you ;-).

Well, it probably didn't do that unless you asked it to :). i.e., unless you selected the libmlchat-ocaml-dev and pressed "B" to file a bug on that package.
