Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1
Severity: normal

Fails with the error above for some reinstall request
combinations, which could be resolved manually, one
by one, without problems.

Could be because of the dependencies, but the error 
message is not obvious, so I cannot tell.

No, this is bad usage of Pre-Depends...

No matters I guess in this case.

Etch is already released. Just remember to upgrade dpkg, apt and aptitude before upgrade
to new distro version.

Good. I'm closing this bug now then. Anyone is free to reopen in case of
seeing this bug in latest apt versions.
