Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
During an install on a mostly sarge system of newer "x-window-system-core" from
testing, apt-get warns of dependency problems but doesn't prompt for permission
to proceed or suggest any solution.
I'd expect the dependency resolution to either remove the packages which no
longer have their dependencies met or to upgrade them so that they depend on
the newer packages being installed. I'd thought the dependency problems would
be recognised in the initial stages and resolved in the solution presented
before the "Do you want to continue? [Y/n]". Failing this automation, should
there not be a warning and some opportunity to abort the install?
My example is below. Is this expected behaviour? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew Archibald ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
