Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: normal
The "downgrade" use-case surely needs some love those days thanks to
the moz foundation: I rapidly had a test of iceweasel 7 in unstable
(eager to get better ram usage ;), just to conclude that so many
extensions are not compatible.
So let's try to get back to v6... iceweasel-dbg has a scrict dep, what
are the first suggestions from aptitude ? Each of them summarized
below, one per paragraph.
I originally thought it was just a problem of "downgrade" being rated
too bad - and incidentally, when asked to explicitely downgrade,
aptitude should surely not inflict a downgrade-penalty to packages
that are broken by the downgrade. But even then, how to explain that
version from squeeze is elected first, then version from
moz.d.n/wheezy, and that just downgrading -dbg to wheezy itself is not
even ever considerered, whereas the priority of those packages is
highest ?

to reject that line manually]
