Hi!
See:

# aptitude install transmission-cli
The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 378 kB of archives. After unpacking 811 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
transmission-cli: Depends: transmission-common (= 2.03-2) but 2.11-1 is
installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) transmission-cli [Not Installed]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Install the following packages:
1) transmission-cli [2.11-1 (experimental)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
=====
The first option is to keep the current version (to not install the
package); it's necessary to ask for the next solution to get what I
want.
=====
# apt-cache policy transmission-cli
transmission-cli:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.03-2
Version table:
2.11-1 0
100 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main i386 Packages
2.03-2 0
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
=====
While I know that the install candidate is 2.03-2 (and aptitude will try
to install it), aptitude should prefer to install the new package at
experimental. The first logical solution seems to be "install the
version from experimental" (since it already has all the dependencies
installed and it has been asked to install it) instead not installing the
desired package.
Wishlist severity since it's a suggestion for this kind of possible
improvement :-)
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nelson
