Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 «aptitude search» reports wrong and
inconsistent package states.
The search operation shows packages as not installed, when they are. It also
shows different state of one and the same package, depending on the search term.
When using «aptitude show» the package states are shown correctly to the best
of my knowledge, but I can not be certain any more.
This bug wreaks havoc with any scripts that rely on mass-processing
packages using statuses from «aptitude search»
Ubuntu 11.10
