Neither does full-upgrade, but full-upgrade will try more aggressively. The results can depend on your particular setup and state of packages on the system. > PS.

The dependencies of fuseiso have changed, one package would be removed. I'd call that a fairly obvious reason why safe-upgrade /may/ have avoided this upgrade. This is certainly not a trivial upgrade. It is impractical to reconstruct the precise reason that safe-upgrade avoided these packages after the fact. To retrieve useful debugging information, return the system to it's state before the upgrade of rpm et al., then run: # aptitude safe-upgrade --log-file=upgrade.log \ --log-resolver --log-level=aptitude.apt.cache:trace However, before going through the trouble, note that I don't expect anyone will take an interest in the logs for this case. It is a tiresome process and not worth the effort to /maybe/ squeeze one more edge case in to safe-upgrade.
