(TOFU corrected.  In general, this list prefers well-trimmed posts with 
replies interleaved or underneath the quoted context.  Some prefer top-
posting, but I think everyone with an opinion desires posts to be well-
trimmed.)

Okay, that output looks fine.

Same here.

Okay, sane.

What does (apt-cache policy) and (apt-cache policy aptitude) show?  Can you 
also post the output of (apt-get install aptitude) non-i18n-ized?

I'm suspecting some odd problems under /var/lib/apt or /var/cache at this 
point, but those outputs will help further diagnose.
