It was only to showcase the problem. Doing "upgrade" would do more than
I want. So far "install" has worked just fine for single package upgrades.

Both xgnokii and gnokii-cli depend on gnokii-common EXACLY with version
0.6.24.dfsg-1. Upgrading the latter to 0.6.24.dfsg-2 obviously makes
this dependency break, so both xgnokii and gnokii-cli have to be
removed. You may want to specify "Depends: gnokii-common (>= 0.6.24.dfsg-1).
