I have seen other dependency situations where there is a definite pause while a solution is calculated. Neither of my machines is super fast.

vbox loop in aptitude
Debian sid: There are several vbox packages available for update. When I choose any one of those to update in aptitude I get what seems to be an unending loop while aptitude attempts to resolve the dependencies. Any ideas?
