Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: minor

Instructions to reproduce:

1. Start aptitude, select a normal, installed, package.
2. Hit "=". The package is marked as held.
3. Now I've changed my mind, I just want it to be kept at the current
version, but not prevent upgrades. So I press ":". Nothing happens.

The workaround is to first mark the package to be upgraded by hitting
"+", then hit ":". I don't think it should be necessary to do this,
though - there's no logical reason why it couldn't go straight from
'held' state to 'keep at current version but allow upgrades' state.

Thanks,
Andrew.
