Package: apt
Version: 0.8.13.2
Severity: normal
Hi David,
your fix for #618848 works in that it results in an error, but the
diagnostics became worse:
<-- snip -->
# apt-get remove libdb4.8
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
initscripts : Depends: mount (>= 2.11x-1) but it is not going to be installed
libsm6 : Depends: libuuid1 (>= 2.16) but it is not going to be installed
libxine1-misc-plugins : Depends: libgraphicsmagick3 (>= 1.3.5) but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: libpulse0 (>= 0.9.21) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: libsmbclient (>= 3.0.24) but it is not going
to be installed
E: Broken packages
<-- snip -->
Trying to figure out the actual problem from this information is not
impossible, but very hard.
