Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-2 Starting from a task-desktop-lxde setup, and trying to remove xserver-xorg-video-all and reselecting packages I don't want to go away seems to cause issues to aptitude.
I'm keeping an aptitude bundle for initial state, available on request (not sure it makes sense to attach 500MB here). >From there: - select xserver-xorg-video-all for removal, then xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu for install - solve conflicts (marks task-desktop-lxde task-desktop for removal) - in task-lxde-desktop deps select lxde Now aptitude quickly reaches 100%CPU and we can watch its memory usage go up.
