Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
During the update slink->potato apt-get (with method dist-upgrade)
the package libcompface1 (libc5 compatibility-version) was removed
automatically.
This made some locally installed programs outside the distribution
unusable.
We consider this a bug.
Libraries should never be removed without a reason during an upgrade,
because it is possible that they are used by other, locally installed
programs.

In that case you should have told apt to not continue and placed the
package on hold so that it knows to work around whatever is causing it to
be removed..
This is generally true for any locally used package.
