Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
I'm running Stable/Testing[1] for month, and I've seen this behaviour
only for the awfull Nvidia proprietary driver package : a testing
update+upgrade could lead to have bash removed because of a missing
dependency.
Here is the Aptitude screen showing this:

C-T: Menu ?: Help q: Quit u: Update g: Download/Install/Remove Pkgs
Packages Resolve Dependencies
--\ Keep the following packages at their current version:
bash [3.1dfsg-8 (stable, now)]
nvidia-glx [100.14.19-1 (now)]
nvidia-glx-dev [100.14.19-1 (now)]
NVIDIA binary Xorg driver
nvidia-glx depends upon nvidia-kernel-169.09
--\ The following actions will resolve this dependency:
-> Keep nvidia-glx at version 100.14.19-1 (now)
-> Downgrade nvidia-glx [100.14.19-1 (now) -> 1.0.8776-4 (stable)]
-> Remove nvidia-glx [100.14.19-1 (now)]

One can see that there is an option to REMOVE bash.
Indeed when one'll choose this option, aptitude will not select it
for removal... Hopefully ;)
But how could this be that an essential package like bash has a missing
dependency in testing ? Should we improve/harden the frontier between
unstable and testing ?
I'd be interested in knowing more about this. You can count on my help if
some is needed.
Cheers,
M.
