Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3
Severity: normal
Before running 'aptitude upgrade' I had the following packages
installed:
ppp 2.4.4rel-10.1 (automatic)
network-manager 0.8.0.999-1
During the upgrade, network-manager was upgraded to version 0.8-1. This
changed its recommendation on ppp to on version >= 2.4.5. Rather than
upgrading ppp, aptitude removed it!

Hi Sam,
2010-08-06 09:45 Sam Morris:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3
Severity: normal
Before running 'aptitude upgrade' I had the following packages
installed:
ppp 2.4.4rel-10.1 (automatic)
network-manager 0.8.0.999-1
During the upgrade, network-manager was upgraded to version 0.8-1. This
changed its recommendation on ppp to on version >= 2.4.5. Rather than
upgrading ppp, aptitude removed it!
This kind of problem has not been reported in the last few years, as far
as I could gather from months looking at hundreds of open bug reports,
so it looks that it was a temporarty problem in the package
dependencies, or maybe a glitch in apt or aptitude resolution (but
aptitude was not changed much since then in this regard, and there are
no hints in the log of changes at the time).
I was looking at the changelogs and bug reports of network-manager at
the time, and there were some problems with the dependencies of
network-manager and ppp in the versions that you mention, I suppose that
the problems might be attributted to that.
In any case, sorry that this was not handled in a more timely manner,
but it's quite difficult to trace this kind of problems looking at
packages so far in the past, unless there is case that can still be
reproducible with today's systems.
So I am going to close this now, but please reopen if you still see this
kind of problems today.
Cheers.
