Package: synaptic
Version: 0.57.11.1
Severity: normal

I wanted to upgrade libfuse2, and selected 'mark for upgrade'.
Synaptic says it wants to remove these packes in order to make the
upgrade:
        fuse-utils
        ntfsprogs
        sshfs

However, if I select fuse-utils for upgrading first, and then upgrade
libfuse2, it doesn't complain.

'aptitude install libfuse2' correctly detects that fuse-utils needs to
be upgraded to successfully install libfuse2.

Also, 'apt-get install libfuse2' behaves same as synaptic, it wants to
remove those 3 packages.

I think that synaptic should check if upgrading a package it wants to
remove would solve the dependency. 
Maybe, it should just use aptitude's dependency resolver, 
which is much better for solving these kinds of conflicts, than
apt-get's dependency resolver.
