Subject: aptitude: Incorrectly reported installed packages as broken
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.11.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

aptitude incorrectly reports my installed packages as broken.
There are not. APT shows that there are all okay.

home:~# apt-get  install -f
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 371  not
upgraded.
home:~#

It looks like aptitude mark packages as broken in case when
updating this package to latest version brokes this package
(because new version of package depends on library which is
installable but currently not installed). Worse thing that
aptitude wants to 'correct' this problem  by downloading a
buch of new things which are not needed. 

Example:
my dpkg version is 1.9.21
dpkg in archive is 1.10.9  which pre-depends on dselect package
which is not installed. Aptitude marks dpkg package as BROKEN,
which is incorrect.

=====================
Another  problem is that dependency tracking in aptitude is broken
it can not find libdigest-md5-perl which is installed on my system:

iB  --\ debsums                                             2.0.2
2.0.4
  Description
debsums - Verify installed package files against MD5 checksums.
debsums can verify the integrity of installed package files against
MD5 checksums installed by the package, or generated from a .deb
archive.

SUMMARY: aptitude is very dangerous program for breaking my current
debian system

HOW CAN i change package state from upgrade (iu) to install (let it be
for now but not hold it) (i).

WISH: Add reverse action for menu command Mark Upgradeable -> Mark all 
nonupgradeable.

F1 HELP do not displays what is the A in package state (some has idA here).
