[Bug 995396] Re: aptitude tries to remove 90 installed packages, because one pacakge doesn't fitt

[Thomas Schweikle]

None of the packages aptitude wants to remove has dependencies on the
one broken package. I'd suppose this being a big nasty bug within
aptitude. Since I've seen this on servers, without graphical display
too, rendering the whole system unusable after an automated update, this
is not something minor.
