[taw1@nic.fi: Bug#71091: Aptitude: unable to install packages from local mirror]

[Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows@brown.edu>]

  This bug has completely confused me.  The error appears to occur in the
bowels of libapt; however, apt-get has no such problem.  I've carefully compared
the code apt-get uses to install packages to my own and can't see any
difference that should cause this.

  I hope that someone on this list will have more of a clue than me.

   Thanks,
  Daniel
