Done > Reading task descriptions... Done Okay, so the two packages don't get marked as requiring upgrade. So I'm guessing apt-get is not noticing that dvdstyler is not being upgraded, and so tried to install its new dependencies? Yet aptitude is doing the right thing. > refugio:/home/chptma# aptitude dist-upgrade > Reading package lists... Done > Building dependency tree > Reading state information...

Interestingly, "wajig upgrade" does not seem to try to install dvdstyler-data (as one might expect given the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade). I'll reassign this to apt-get. I don't see it as a wajig issue as such. Is it problematic that the other two packages get installed? At least dvdstyler is not being upgraded.
