  What does the version of aptitude in experimental do here?

(with packages with slightly changed depends)

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 texlive-base: Conflicts: texlive-base-bin but it is not installable
 texlive-latex-recommended: Conflicts: texlive-base-bin but it is not 
installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Upgrade the following packages:
texlive-base [2007.dfsg.2-4 (unstable, now) -> 2009~svn14580-1~1 (tl2009-pre)]
texlive-latex-recommended [2007.dfsg.2-4 (unstable, now) -> 2009~svn14580-1~1 
(tl2009-pre)]

Score is -10

So the only change is that now the <NULL> is replaced by the name of the
private repository. Which *does* help me, since it tells me that the
repository "http://localhost tl2009-pre/" is taken, not
"http://localhost experimental/main", probably because of the
experimental.

Or not.

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Why does it not try to upgrade to 1~4 which apt-cache says is a candidate?

BTW, "apt-get dist-upgrade" does not complain about any problems. And it
currently downloads the correct 1~4 version, while aptitude didn't (I
just looked it up in a logfile from this morning).

I think the the behaviour of aptitude with candidate releases was
suboptimal compared to a few years ago, but improved since then,
including in the more recent 0.7.* series.

Did you observe this behaviour lately?


Cheers.
