Just FYI, if you press 'F' instead of '=', aptitude will prevent the
bad version from being installed, but will upgrade when another one
comes available (e.g., if you install 1.0-2 and is broken, revert to
1.0-1 and press 'F', aptitude will install 1.0-3 when it becomes
available.)
'F' stands for forbid-version.
