Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+squeeze1
Severity: normal

After installation of the latest version of apt, both aptitude and
synaptic have disappeared from the system. Attempts to install fail
because of unmet dependencies, including

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6
Depends: libept0 (>= 0.5.26) but it is not going to be
installed

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libept0: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6

Attempting to install libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 report "apt is already
the newest version"; so I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of dependency.
