Control: tags 598485 + moreinfo
According to the last messages, shouldn't this report have been closed long ago?
The problems related to offering suboptimal solutions is still present
and reported in many other bug reports, but the packages are most
probably not unrelated as the title suggests -- they are subtle
incompatibilities due to library transitions or similar (and that system
uses stable, testing, unstable and experimental, so this is likely to
happen).
aptitude does show more information about dependencies and reasons for
auto installing/removing if passing -D in the command line, or can be
discovered with "why" command, or browsing conflicts in the curses
interface.
This could be merged with other reports, but then again this report
doesn't add much info on top on what it's already there; and the main
problem to address those is the lack of time and difficulty of the task
rather than lack of reports about it.
So I am closing this now.
Cheers.
