Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
Iwas trying to remove plymouth in order to reinstall it to try to fix a
black screen during the boot when apt got me this really odd message:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge plymouth
[sudo] password for leitao:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
procps : Depends: upstart-job
Depends: initscripts but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
this makes no sense! I am not installing anything that could trigger a
broken dependency with upstart or anything else for that matter... is
packaging system might be totally unreliable.
