Well, the package is a bit broken. It depends on fonts-roboto-hinted and recommends fonts-roboto-unhinted, which conflicts with fonts-roboto-hinted (and thus fonts-roboto). The package needs to be fixed to drop the recommends and change the dependency to fonts-roboto-hinted | fonts-roboto-unhinted. It does not make sense for APT to install a package where one recommends conflicts with itself, not sure if we could handle that better, so I'll clone the bug instead of a direct reassignment. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
