Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.14.1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
xserver-xorg has dependencies
Depends:
xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.9.0.901),
xserver-xorg-video-all | xorg-driver-video,
xserver-xorg-input-all | xorg-driver-input,
xserver-xorg-input-evdev,
libc6 (>= 2.7),
xkb-data (>= 1.4),
x11-xkb-utils
I have already chosen which input drivers I want (synaptics and evdev)
and which video drivers I want (nouveau). So the dependencies are
satisfied by the second alternative (xorg-driver-video / xorg-driver-input).
Unfortunately "cupt full-upgrade" doesn't realize this until I say "no"
a few times.
Questions:
. cupt is happy about the lack of video drivers but not the input
drivers. Is that because of the extra ...-input-evdev dependency?
. can I specify my preference on the command line instead of saying
"no, no, no"? e.g.,
cupt full-upgrade --without=xserver-xorg-input-all
would be convenient.
. even better, would it make sense to allow such rich information
to be provided instead of "yes/no" in response to the suggested list
of packages?
I imagine it could be useful to clone this bug for whichever
suggestions make sense and then close it.
Regards,
Jonathan

The tricky nature of choosing between those alternatives is sometimes
first is better, and sometimes second is.
Good news are: you can now adjust these selections yourself. The process
is described in the new tutorial, section 'Resolver score tuning'. In
your case, decreasing the the value of 'cupt::resolver::score::new' option
or/and increasing the value of 'cupt::resolver::score::downgrade' should
help.
I'm closing this bug, reopen if you disagree.
