Package: apt
Version: 2.9.7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer, the new solver tries to install packages that were not 
requested
and are not considered by the old solver.

A while ago it tried to install sq, gpgv-from-sq, gpgv-sq which break apt.
I blacklisted them via pinning. Today a set of packages was suggested for 
installation
during routine upgrade:

     $ sudo apt full-upgrade --purge -V --fix-broken --auto-remove --solver 3.0
     Installing dependencies:        
        gir1.2-evince-3.0 (46.3.1-1)
        gir1.2-gtksource-4 (4.8.4-5+b2)

        libcue2 (2.2.1-4.1+b1)
        libexempi8 (2.6.5-1)
        libgjs0g (1.80.2-1)
        libgnome-autoar-0-0 (0.4.4-2+b2)
        libgnome-desktop-4-2t64 (44.0-5)
        libgtksourceview-4-0 (4.8.4-5+b2)
        libgtksourceview-4-common (4.8.4-5)

        libtotem-plparser-common (3.26.6-1)
        libtotem-plparser18 (3.26.6-1+b2)
        nautilus (46.2-3)
        nautilus-data (46.2-3)
        network-manager-strongswan (1.6.0-3+b1)
        osinfo-db (0.20240701-1)
        qt6-qpa-plugins (6.6.2+dfsg-11)
        tracker (3.7.3-2)
        tracker-extract (3.7.3-1)
        tracker-miner-fs (3.7.3-1)

     Suggested packages:
        eog (47~beta-1)
        nautilus-extension-brasero

I do not have gnome or any complete DE installed, none of those packages make 
sense.
Blacklisting nautilus via pinning reduces the list down to 
network-manager-strongswan
and qt6-qpa-plugins, which is a useful suggestion, but why does it happen?
