Bug#219743: apt-get ignores --no-upgrade option

[Jan Gregor <gregor_jan@seznam.cz>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

I tried to install libti68k-dev libticables3-dev and libticalcs3-dev
with:
 apt-get --no-upgrade install libti68k-dev libticables3-dev libticalcs3-dev

and there's result:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  fileutils libusb-dev tidev-modules-source 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libti68k-dev libticables3-dev libticalcs3-dev libusb-dev
  tidev-modules-source 
1 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 358  not
  upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1151kB of archives. After unpacking 2400kB will be
  used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


apt-get simply ignores my request to not upgrade fileutils.
