I wasn't talking about existing holds, but about an update strategy that prioritized removing packages like gnome-control-center over putting some other on hold automatically. I would expect an automatic system to *always* take the path of least removals. > PackageKit uses the very same resolver as apt itself does... > A log file of what actually happened would be very helpful here, to > determine the problem causing the package removal. Just try an update on a recently updated (Sunday) sid system and you'll see see the conflicts.
