The sort of heuristic I was looking for was "what a mess; I give up; let's try to put these packages back the way they were" or even backtracking when problem resolution leads to downgrading a package back to the same version. But I suspect there are more interesting problems (like detecting unsatisfiable requests and stopping early), I am not likely to forget this one, and the new tunables should help in the meantime. I don't mind the bug being closed. Thanks for a heads up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
