Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.6.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Currently, the package `gnokii' in unstable is in a broken state such
that I can neither upgrade or remove it. Because of this single not
very central package aptitude refuses to upgrade 500 MB worth of other
packages (I haven't been able to upgrade the system for a days because
of this).

This is what I'm trying to do:

refuses to upgrade the rest of the packages.

Without knowing much about aptitude/apt internals, I suspect it could
be made more robust in cases like this.
