Comment 4 for bug 985852

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10

---------------
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Malcolm Scott ]
  * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
    - Fix a regression in the pre-depend handling: where a pre-depend option
      other than the first specified is already installed, apt-get enters an
      infinite loop (LP: #985852)

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc:
    - add APT::pkgPackageManager::MaxLoopCount to ensure that the
      ordering code does not get into a endless loop when it flip-flops
      between two states

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * apt-pkg/cacheset.cc:
    - actually return to the fallback modifier if we have detected we
      should for packagenames which look like modifiers (Closes: #669591)
      LP: #982716
