Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: important

I was running the aptitude safe-upgrade command to update the system after a
while (there were about 1400 packages being updated). However after unpacking a
couple of packages aptitude crashed with a message that there are too many
errors. Presumably too many dependencies were broken.

I think that aptitude should check if the operation will not cause too many
dependencies being broken before it starts. After it crashed it failed to even
start again (see bug 632125). I was forced to run apt-get -f dist-upgrade to
get the system to some stable state, but I lost all the auto marks on packages.
