Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 Severity: normal
I have a pinning setup where all packages are pulled from the stable release with some exceptions which are pulled from testing. All relevant config files are included below. After adding the testing repo line to ``sources.list`` and setting APT's pinning preferences, running ``apt-get dist-upgrade`` finds new essential packages from testing and installs them. However, under the same situation, running ``aptitude dist-upgrade`` doesn't install anything. After installing them manually or using ``apt-get``, they are correctly regarded as essential by Aptitude. Assuming that the behaviour of ``apt-get`` is right (see #216768), Aptitude should also install the new essential packages when ``dist-upgrade`` is run. Thanks!
