Package: apt
Version: 0.7.9
Severity: normal

apt-get install has repeatedly shown a propensity to remove packages
rather than upgrading them.   In the following example, it tries to
remove openoffice, kde, gnome, and konqueror at least the first three of
which are common targets.

 apt-get install kvdr

   abiword-gnome abiword-plugins-gnome democracyplayer dfontmgr
