Hi Osamu,

NOTE: The package dependency resolver of the `aptitude` command tends to
suggest mass package removals when packages in `unstable` are
temporarily inconsistent. This situation is a bit frightening.
Usually, "`apt-get dist-upgrade`" should resolve this situation. This
situation seems to be caused mostly by the version skew among packages
depended or recommended by a meta-package such as `gnome-core`.

By the way, reviewing the above made me notice the note at the top. Do
we have a ticket on aptitude's issue? If not, should the reference
really be targetted to people using unstable as a default suite
anyway?
Not just to people using unstable as a default suite but people
upgrading from one release to another. It happens less frequently but
is true.
Historically, this issue was the reason behind release note mentioning
only apt-get dist-upgrade.

If there is no ticket on this issue, I don't think it's worth mentioning in the
reference.
If it affects stable users, the situation is completely different, but the way
it's redacted, it seems specific to unstable.
