Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b2 Severity: normal I have a metapackage josh-gui, which among other things depends on totem-xine and conflicts with totem-gstreamer. Various packages depend on totem-gstreamer | totem-xine, such as gnome-desktop-environment and totem-plugins. Whenever a new version of totem comes out, and I attempt to upgrade to it (usually by hitting + on the "video" section including totem-common, totem-xine, and totem-plugins), aptitude gets confused: it attempts to pull in totem-gstreamer (despite not needing it to satisfy any dependencies, with totem-xine already installed), and it then correctly concludes that it has broken josh-gui. Furthermore, to fix this brokenness, it initially proposes removing josh-gui; its *second* solution does the right thing by choosing *not* to install totem-gstreamer in the first place.
