Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I just updated from aptitude 0.4.11.11-1+b2 to version 0.6.1.5-3 and
lost the 'aptitude' command. It is no more listed in 'dpkg -L aptitude'
too.
Apparently, the alternative for aptitude has been lost. I can "get back"
aptitude by typing 'aptitude-curses', which seems to be the default
alternative (has seen on another system with unstable), but
update-alternatives says there is no more alternative for aptitude ...
I think I will will add it back by hand, but this bug is highly confusing
at first when one is no more able to aptitude anything.
Regards,
benjamin

OK, since as far as I can tell you're the only person who's
experienced this, and there's good reason to think that filesystem
corruption is to blame, I'm going to close this bug for the time being.
After all, if the filesystem did eat aptitude's alternatives file, it
could just as easily have eaten /usr/bin/aptitude instead, no matter how
I put it there.
