Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1
Severity: normal
I use the following /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10aptitude configuration:
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost "removals";
but aptitude forgets an upgrade in its resolution:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# aptitude full-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
bluez:i386{ab} libappstream1{a} libcdt5{a} libcgraph6{a}
libdbus-1-3:i386{a} libffi6:i386{a} libglib2.0-0:i386{a} libgvc6{ab}

libudev1:i386{ab} tcl-expect{a} zlib1g:i386{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
appstream-index expect{b} gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 gnome-bluetooth
graphviz libgraphviz-dev libpathplan4 libxdot4 metacity metacity-common
nqp{b} rakudo{b}
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
gnome-session gnome-session-fallback gnome-session-flashback lxsession
mate-session-manager openbox razorqt-session xfce4-session
12 packages upgraded, 18 newly installed, 0 to remove and 29 not upgraded.
Need to get 12.8 MB of archives. After unpacking 22.3 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmetacity-private0a : Depends: metacity-common (= 1:2.34.13-1) but 1:3.12.0-1 is to be installed.

expect-dev : Depends: expect (= 5.45-5) but 5.45-6 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) appstream-index [0.6.2-1 (now, testing)]
2) bluez:i386 [Not Installed]
3) expect [5.45-5 (now, testing)]

18) nqp [2014.03-1 (now)]
19) rakudo [2014.03.01-1 (now)]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
20) libappstream1 recommends appstream-index (= 0.7.0-1)
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This shows that appstream-index was proposed for upgrade, but
discarded it in its resolution.
# aptitude why appstream-index
i libappstream0 Recommends appstream-index (= 0.6.2-1)
Without the Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost "removals", I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# aptitude full-upgrade

12) libappstream0 recommends appstream-index (= 0.6.2-1)
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
i.e. appstream-index will be upgraded. It seems that the option
prevented its upgrade due to:
libappstream0 recommends appstream-index (= 0.6.2-1)
though appstream-index wouldn't be removed: its version would just
change (BTW, these versioned dependencies for libappstream0 and
libappstream1 look strange and are conflicting, so that this is
probably a bad idea, but this is another problem).
To be able to reproduce the problem, I've attached the status files
in an archive.
