Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1

The upgrade here is from 14.0.1-2+b1 of the various sox packages to 14.1.0-1.

In this upgrade, libsox-fmt-ogg disappears, its functionality subsumed into libsox-fmt-base. The latter package has a Replaces: header indicating this.

The output from Aptitude is:

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

Now Aptitude *is* reaching the right conclusion here, but it *looks* like it's decided to disable .ogg support! Only after manually inspecting the new package does it become clear that the -base package should support this functionality now.

So it would be clearer to the user that it's OK to proceed if it indicated somehow that the package it was going to remove was replaced by one it was keeping.
