Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.6.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
my normal way to upgrade the system is to start aptitude and press: <u>,
<U> and <g>
Newly, I need several additional <U> <g> cycles afterwards until nothing
else is left to do. Today, there were about 10 (!) cycles necessary. The
last ones being some automatical uninstallations (not many, though).
Shouldn't all this be done in one run?
Thanks,
Roland

Can you still see this behaviour with current/recent versions?
I haven't experienced this behaviour, at least in recent years, and I
haven't seen reports similar to this either in several passes reviewing
the open bug reports.
aptitude's resolver changed quite a bit in the years after this bug
report was filed, so it is quite likely that this behaviour was not
longer present soon after the reports.
If you still experience it, by all means please reopen and provide more
information; but for the time being I am going to close it, because I
don't think that it's useful to keep around after more than 8 years if
we cannot gather more info, reproduce it, and try to fix it.
Cheers.
