Package: aptitude
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
I would like to have a more explicit message when aptitude can't install a
package because of a failed Depends: on a virtual package not provided by any
real package. For example the current apt 0.6 transition in unstable:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  dak: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3 which is a virtual package.

this is a little misleading, perhaps something like:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  dak: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3 which is a virtual package and not
  provided by any real package.

thanks,
filippo
