Are you using sid? I would say that one of the last versions uploaded
by the maintainer switched the deafults. Any way, to get back to the
old one, you can either write a line
Aptitude::Auto-Upgrade true (Check the syntax before doing it!!!!!!)
in /root/.aptitude/conf, or pick options from the menu bar once
aptitude has started and select-unselect as needed.
