Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43
Severity: wishlist
I have an idea for better apt debug messages.
Let's examine two messages seen upon dselect-upgrade.
1. Package rxvt-unicode-ml has broken dep on rxvt-unicode
2. Package libgdal1-dev has broken dep on libgdal1c2a
In 1, the problem was a conflict.
In 2, the problem was the user had marked libgdal1c2a for purge with
dpkg --set-selections.
Thus we see "has broken dep on" includes several different situations
that apt could mention, instead of just saying "has broken dep on" for
all cases.

I guess the debug improvement was implemented with:
* add depth information to the debug output and show what depends
type triggers a autoinst (closes: #458389)
The output is now in the latest release btw:
(steadily improved over time)
Broken lintian:i386 Depends on libparse-debianchangelog-perl [ i386 ]
< 1.1.1-2.1 > ( perl ) (>= 0.6)
The responsible option for it is: Debug::pkgProblemResolver
