Indeed. Aptitude currently seems to prefer removals and downgrades over keeps. You can changed that yourself either with resolver hints (see http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html) or resolver costs (see http://aptitude.alioth.debian.org/doc/en/ch02s03s04.html). > It would be very nice if this could be improved, e.g. by > some algorithm looking for the least painful change and > presenting it first. That'd be nice when running unstable, yes. Not sure though if it's the best solution during dist-upgrades from oldstable to stable.
