Package: aptitude-gtk
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

actually the new package aptitude-gtk in experimental declares an
unversioned dependency on aptitude. This make possible to mix binary
package with different versions, in particular you could install
aptitude/0.4.11.11 from unstable together with aptitude-gtk/0.5.1 from
experimental. Thus, removing aptitude-gtk will break aptitude deleting
the /usr/bin/aptitude executable due to the following prerm script:

  if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
      update-alternatives --remove aptitude /usr/bin/aptitude-gtk
  fi

This will cause update-alternatives to delete the aptitude executable
because of no available alternatives (aptitude/0.4.11.11 doesn't have a
postinst script calling update-alternatives).

Thanks,
Cristian
