I believe this is an apt bug. The resolver is working on xserver-xorg-
core Breaks: xserver-xorg-video-6, and runs over its loop limit before
it manages to finish. This is because it's spending one iteration of
the master resolver loop per provider of xserver-xorg-video-6, when it
could clear them all up in a single iteration. I believe that this is
an anomaly in apt's handling of Breaks vs. Conflicts, as Conflicts do
appear to cause it to try multiple providers in a single iteration of
the master resolver loop.
I'm working on a patch for this now.
