Source: apt
Version: 2.7.12+nmu1
Severity: serious
While there are no upgrade issues with apt itself (according
to "apt install -s apt"), aptitude does not want to upgrade
apt automatically, while this just appears to be a package
rename:
# aptitude install apt
The following packages will be upgraded:
apt{b} apt-doc
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 180 not upgraded. Need to get 1622 kB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
apt : Depends: libapt-pkg6.0t64 (>= 2.7.12+nmu1) but it is not going to be installed
apt-utils : Depends: apt (= 2.7.12) but 2.7.12+nmu1 is to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) apt [2.7.12 (now, testing)]
I don't know whether this is actually an issue with aptitude, but at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059068#15

So, I suppose that this is also the case for aptitude: if aptitude
cannot upgrade just because of a rename, then this is a problem in
the involved packages.
