So when you run aptitude, is the first entry

--- Upgradable Packages ( )

and, if so, what number is in parentheses?

Also if so, what do you see when you select this item?
(ie press return on this item, then ↓ and return,
repeating until you reach actual package names.)
If you do reach a list of package names, with an appearance like so:

--\ Upgradable Packages (1)
  --\ video - Utilities to record, view, edit, and stream video files (1)
    --\ main - The main Debian archive (1)
i     get-iplayer                                   2.94-1         2.97-1

what packages does it want to upgrade, and from which version to which?

(It would be nice to have some concrete examples of what's being discussed.)

Cheers,
David.
