$ sudo apt-get install libgnutls13
Reading package lists... Done

Package libgnutls13 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgnutls13 has no installation candidate
xdunlapx@xdunlapx-laptop:~$

Expected: if any package shows in tab-completion, then it should be available to download via apt-get, aptitude or synaptic.

This seems to be fixed now. I run the following script:

import apt_pkg,sys

apt_pkg.init()

cache = apt_pkg.Cache()

for i in sys.argv[1:]:
 if not cache[i].has_versions:
  print i, "is virtual"

to print out virtual packages on all package names returned by pkgnames:
$ python a.py $(apt-cache pkgnames --no-generate )

As nothing was printed, this bug is fixed now.
