I am not sure where the versions of the libraries came from, but in principle the transcript above does not indicate a problem of aptitude, or at most that it doesn't offer a satisfactory solution as the first / best solution. If you replied "n" to the question above, it would try to find another solution, like removing libnspr4-0d and installing the 3 that kept back. It is impossible to know with this information if libnspr4-0d was there because it was installed from other repository, if it was there because the system had been upgraded from a previous stable, if it was needed by some other dependencies, if it was on hold due to previous requests... After such a long time most probably you don't have the system in the same state to get the extra information needed to analyse that, and as I said on first looks it just doesn't seem a serious problem in aptitude, at most a bad suggestion for first solution. It is known to do that in many cases, and there are many bugs reporting it already. So, in summary, I am afraid that not much can be done now about this bug report, so I am closing it now. Please reopen if you still have concerns about it. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]>
