Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I have seen this many a time and more so now when I am trying to
upgrade from stable to testing. What happens is many a time there is a
library which is being removed and there is no hint as to which
package is the one responsible for the library being removed.
Sometimes you do get hints when the package names are similar, but
many a times not. Also sometimes the package names may be similar but
they may be a part of a series of packages and its hard to figure out
which is the one responsible. I do not claim to know the answer but
one way perhaps could be
say if library 'stable' is being removed due to changes in package
'sid' it could show as
library 'stable being removed:'sid'
This would atleast indicate which package is the one responsible and
then one can download the changelog and see what changes have made
library 'stable' reduntant. Maybe fixed upstream, or merged within
package 'sid' or no longer needed whatever the reason, atleast I know
this is due to package 'sid' .
