Version: 0.7.22
The problem should be fixed with with apt 0.7.22
as it no longer writes to the state-file in simulation mode.
A few quicktests also suggests that it no longer happens.
The changelog says:
apt (0.7.22) unstable; urgency=low
[…]
[ David Kalnischkies ]
[…]
* do not write state file in simulate mode (closes: #433007)

I am therefore closing this bug now as fixed,
but please feel free to reopen it if it still occurs.

David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
