Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Followup-For: Bug #286974 I've noticed the same problem, however it seems to only be a spurious error message. Adding a source to /etc/apt/sources.list and running `aptitude update' causes the error messages reported earlier, however running `aptitude update' again completes with no error.
