It means that if you were to run "aptitude install" with no target
minitube would be installed.  You've somehow confused Aptitude into
thinking that you asked it to install Minitube and then interrupted it
before it finished.  This may be a bug or it may be because you made a
mistake.  Run "aptitude remove minitube" to clear this up.
