Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-6
Severity: normal

Updating one package with complex dependencies fails:
I tried to update from slang1a-utf8 (1.4.9dbs-8) to
libslang1-utf8 (1.4.9dbs-10).

The following dependencies exist:

slang1a-utf8 (1.4.9dbs-8)
  Conflicts: slang1-utf8

libslang1-utf8 (1.4.9dbs-10)
  Conflicts: slang1-utf8, slang1a-utf8
  Replaces:  slang1a-utf8
  Provides:  slang1a-utf8

util-linux (2.12-7+kbsd.1)
  PreDepends: slang1a-utf8 (>1.4.4-7.1)

Installing libslang1-utf8 is not possible, even though it should be possible
to replace slang1a-utf8 with libslang1-utf8 without any problems.
I know that kfreebsd-i386 is not an official architecture,
but I think the dependency resolution algorithm has not changed there.

I also tested with
# apt-get -s install libslang1-utf8
but this wanted to remove util-linux as well.

I report this issue here nevertheless to make you aware of it,
in case aptitude has its own dependency resolution.
If that's wrong then please reassign it.
