OK, but note that this is a rather serious bug somewhere (perhaps in aptitude, but really, I'm not sure since according to aptitude's debug log, everything is fine on its side), not just a solver limitation: if this were a solver limitation, aptitude would have at least said that the upgrade was not possible because some dependency could not be satisfied (this is what it usually does); but this is not what happened. In short, something attempts to remove a package that has *not* been marked as to be removed. Fortunately, when trying to remove the package, dpkg detects a dependency issue. But I fear, that in some cases (e.g. when the unannounced package to be removed would not have a dependency on it), this could potentially completely break the system. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
