In complex cases (like this one?), aptitude is worse than apt-get to find the right dependencies. It sometimes wants to remove a package instead of upgrading it, see e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570377 (the ncurses interface, which I always use by default, has the same problem). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
