Package: apt
Version: 0.6.41
This bug is probably related to
#122304: Order is significant when specifying packages to install
but i that one is now ~4 years old and relates to apt 0.5.*
Two related packages (app and lib) are being kept back, when apt-installing
one of them (the lib), the right thing is done (both updated), but when
apt-installing the application package apt tries to remove several other
packages which could stay without problems:
# apt-get -s upgrade
The following packages have been kept back:
gconf2 libgconf2-4
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
# apt-get -s install libgconf2-4
The following extra packages will be installed:
