Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: minor
On a long-not-updated system where installation requires a Perl update:
$ aptitude install smurf-kde
## my metapackage which simply depends on a bunch of KDE stuff
[ attempt to resolve the non-existing conflict which includes: ]
206) smurf-kde [Not Installed]
Uhh, what? When I explicitly want to install something, attempts to resolve
the problem by not-installing that very package are stupid. Please pre-add
these to the exclusion list, particularly if only one package is mentioned
on the command line.
Also, I'm astonished that attempts to not-install 200 packages get higher
priority than updating ten packages.
