IMHO, when there is a OR'ed dependency, aptitude should first consider already installed packages and see if an upgrade of such a package would resolve the dependency, as this is what the user would probably prefer. I also suppose that this is what the user would obtain with full-upgrade. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
