I have the same problem - removing the multiarch file then breaks aptitude and requires to remove the 2 packages mentioned above.
I didn't do that because of the Joachim Durchholz's problems reinstalling and getting flash working again. But it is annoying having 2 packages listed and it is also causing dependency problems with other apps. I noticed a few in libsensors4 and lmsensors were listed as being upgradeable but required manual intervention to get them upgraded. Also and after removing the multiarch an rrd package? was then saying it was ready for an upgrade which I couldn't do because of the 2 flash packages being broken and once i put the multiarch file back it was saying that it was the latest version?!?! At one point today I had 88 packages that were saying they needed to be removed after doing the upgrades that came out today, then after closing aptitude and opening it a few times the 88 apps were fixed? and no longer required being removed... or did I accidentally remove them coz I'm a noob with aptitude I DUNNO NOW! Shizen! It's freaking me out - do I continue forward configuring my system and installing apps I need only to get further and further into crap with the software databbase and have to do a full system rebuild yet again (the 3rd this freakin week!) Seems this is pointing to some serious issues - but I hope they are able to be resolved without screwing up my system! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/845136 Title: Forget new packages doesn't save its action To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/845136/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
