"Far too frequently I encountered packages that, when trying to install, would say installing this package will break a dozen others."

I also get this message sometimes, but I never consider it a problem. I just add all the packages that would be broken also to the command line, and that informs the constraints solver a bit more (and rebuilds some things) and then works.

I've actually wished for a switch that just does this, but cut-n-paste the packages it tells me about works fine.
