    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)

* apt-inst/contrib/extracttar.cc:
