i think there are two sides to this issue. one is the same issue that is in 75504 which is that libstdc++ can't be upgraded due to a dependency problem and the old libstdc++ is blocking other upgrades.
the other is that dist-upgrade is presenting a soloution to an upgrade request that involves removal of essential packages rather than a soloution that involves some stuff not being upgraded. -- dist upgrade on feisty tries to remove apt https://launchpad.net/bugs/75527 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
