Package: aptitude

Severity: important
Hi Daniel
During an interactive session I noticed that upgrading kdebase results in
kdm being marked for removal.
As near as I can determine, the relevant info is
Installed State:
kdebase_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
Depends: kdebase-bin ( >= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2)
Recommends: kdm (>= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2)
kdebase-bin_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
kdm_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
Depends: kdebase-bin (= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2)
Autoinstalled: Yes
Incoming package versions:
kdebase_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7
Depends: kdebase-bin ( >= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7)
Recommends: kdm (>= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7)
kdebase-bin_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7
kdm_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7
Depends: kdebase-bin (= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7)
Scheduled for removal
Upgrading kdebase_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 to kdebase_4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 results
in aptitude marking kdm for removal. (On my testing system, anacron
sysklogd klogd and logrotate are all marked as autoinstalled, and kept
installed by kdm recommending logrotate).
I can reproduce this for the command line.
$ sudo aptitude install kdebase
....
The following NEW packages will be installed:
kdeeject{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
anacron{u} kdm{u} klogd{u} logrotate{u} sysklogd{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
kcontrol kdebase kdebase-bin kdebase-data kdebase-kio-plugins
kdesktop kfind konqueror konqueror-nsplugins

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdm: Depends: kdebase-bin (= 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2) but 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 is
to be installed.
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Upgrade the following packages:
kdm [4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 (now) -> 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 (testing)]
Score is 120
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
If you need more info, let me know. (I have run aptitude-create-state-bundle,
and will hold off doing the upgrade for several days).
Thanks for your work in Debian.
