This seems still the case in Squeeze: root@acromantula-domu1:~# aptitude install postfix The following NEW packages will be installed: file{a} libexpat1{a} libmagic1{a} libsasl2-2{a} libsasl2-modules{a} mime-support{a} openssl{a} postfix{b} python{a} python-minimal{a} python2.6{a} python2.6-minimal{a} ssl-cert{a} 0 packages upgraded, 13 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 7366 kB of archives. After unpacking 25.2 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: postfix: Conflicts: mail-transport-agent which is a virtual package. exim4-daemon-light: Conflicts: mail-transport-agent which is a virtual package. exim4-config: Conflicts: postfix but 2.7.1-1+squeeze1 is to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) exim4-base 2) exim4-config 3) exim4-daemon-light Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] Although it might be more obvious in this case as the proper solution is chosen first. > Is there a way, so that in the above > situation, the following is written out? > > | The following actions will resolve these dependencies: > | > | Remove the following packages: > | exim4 > | exim4-base > | exim4-config > | exim4-daemon-light > | > | Install the following packages: > | openssl [0.9.8b-2 (testing)] > | resolvconf [1.36 (testing)] > | ssl-cert [1.0.13 (testing)] > | postfix [.......

Maybe this helps already a little bit: Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] ? The following commands are available: [...] o: toggle between the contents of the solution and an explanation of the solution [...] Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] o postfix conflicts with mail-transport-agent 1) -> Removing exim4-daemon-light exim4-config conflicts with postfix 2) -> Removing exim4-config exim4-base depends upon exim4-config (>= 4.30) | exim4-config-2 3) -> Removing exim4-base Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] o Remove the following packages: 1) exim4-base 2) exim4-config 3) exim4-daemon-light Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] Another variant would be using the -D option: # aptitude install -D postfix The following NEW packages will be installed: file{a} (R: mime-support, S: exim4-base, S: libmagic1) libexpat1{a} (D: python2.6) libmagic1{a} (D: file) libsasl2-2{a} (D: libsasl2-modules, D: postfix) libsasl2-modules{a} (R: libsasl2-2, S: postfix) mime-support{a} (D: python2.6) openssl{a} (D: ssl-cert, S: exim4-base) postfix{b} (C: mail-transport-agent) python{a} (R: postfix, R: python-minimal) python-minimal{a} (D: python) python2.6{a} (D: python, R: python2.6-minimal) python2.6-minimal{a} (D: python-minimal, D: python2.6) ssl-cert{a} (D: postfix) 0 packages upgraded, 13 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 7366 kB of archives. After unpacking 25.2 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: postfix: Conflicts: mail-transport-agent which is a virtual package. exim4-daemon-light: Conflicts: mail-transport-agent which is a virtual package. exim4-config: Conflicts: postfix but 2.7.1-1+squeeze1 is to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) exim4-base 2) exim4-config 3) exim4-daemon-light Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] I'll leave this open as wishlist bug. Feel free to close it if the explanation of the found solution as shown above solves the issue for you already.
