"is to be installed" is not the best thing to say, when the item is
indeed already installed. Say something better.
Otherwise it sounds like you are talking about the Candidate.
# apt-get -o Dir::Cache::Archives=. install libasound2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libasound2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.3.2-8 is to be installed
mplayer-k7: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) but 2.3.2-8 is to be installed
Depends: libfaad2-0 (>= 2.0-rc3-0.0) but 1.1-0.0 is to be installed
Depends: libogg0 (>= 1.1.0) but 1.0.0-1 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.2-1) but 1:3.3.2-0pre5 is to be installed
Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) but 1:1.1.4-16 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
# apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
Installed: 2.3.2-8
Candidate: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Odd, I can also make it say "is installed" by doing other
tricks... anyway, perhaps just examine the cases where you say 'to be
installed' when it is already installed.

I've told you at least a dozen times now not to report bugs against apt
without verifying that they have not already been reported. You say that
this is too much bother for you, and so I tell you not to report bugs
against apt anymore. However, you continue to submit duplicate bug reports,
which waste my time. Indeed, you submit more duplicate bug reports (and
bogus bug reports) than anyone else I have ever seen.
Why do you continue to do this?
(this is a duplicate of #218605)
