Hi Maximilian,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: important

gnome desktop box with several tex packages and some kde bits
(due to lyx and kile) can't upgrade anymore with aptitude.

thanks to xstrike force xorg will no longer be removed by apt-get
dist-upgrade, but the previous working aptitude full-upgrade goes
nowhere:
[...]

Sorry that this bug report was not handled until now.

There are still similar problems with current versions of aptitude in
the default configuration -- the first suggestion of aptitude often
prefers to keep packages requested to install/upgrade uninstalled or at
the same version, or even remove them, rather than install/upgrade the
necessary dependencies.

There are multiple reports about the different manifestations of the
problem in its current form; with more information about the state of
the resolver and in general better conditions to try to tackle the
problem.

The resolver implementation changed significantly in versions 0.6.*, so
in my opinion it doesn't make sense to try to reproduce the old
behaviour which caused this problem (with the old aptitude version, and
packages and versions to install/upgrade involved at the time), and
keeping it open doesn't help to investigate the problems with the
current implementation that we should attempt to fix -- symptons are
similar, but algorithms and behaviours causing it are different.
Similarly, I think that merging with other bug reports with similar
symptoms but different underlying causes would not help -- it adds to
the noise and increases the number of things to take into account when
dealing with those bug reports; but it does not add valuable information
on top of what other bugs provide.

So I think that it's better to close this particular bug report, rather
than merge or keep it open, and probably be unattended for another few
years.

I hope that you understand and that it's OK with you, if not, please
reopen.


Cheers.
