Seems like I have found a workaround for this issue. Put following lines to you apt.conf:
Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Break-Hold-Level 50000; Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Keep-All-Level 40000; Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Remove-Level 20000; Aptitude::ProblemResolver::Non-Default-Level 15000; The default levels and explanation can be found in documentation which can be installed by apt-get install aptitude-doc-en. PS: looks like there is no difference in costs between removing the package which was asked to be upgraded and removing of some other package. So there is a tradeoff in setting Remove-Level vs other levels. I found the value most appropriate for me. _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
