Bug#782871: apt (1.0.9.8) prevents aptitude handling forget-new properly.

[Hae-woo Park <starlet@iris.snu.ac.kr>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.8

Recently I upgraded the following packages from 1.0.9.7 to 1.0.9.8:
apt, apt-utils, libapt-inst1.5, libapt-pkg4.12. (I am using sid.)

After then aptitude could not handle 'forget-new' (and 'markauto'?) properly.
When type 'f' (or 'M') for those instruction in aptitude, it seems working;
but after restarting aptitude the status went back.
Note that the 'markauto' issue was tested only with 'new' packages.

So now I've rolled back those 4 packages,
and aptitude properly forgets the new packages by 'forget-new'.

Please take a look.
Thanks.
