Hello, I have a question on how aptitude decides which packages to install to satisfy dependencies. I was installing vtk yesterday and it depends on xlibmesa-gl | libgl1. Aptitude chose to install xlibmesa-gl which in turn broke my x-window-system-core metapackage. However, I was able to manually fix it by using libglu1-xorg for the dependency (and I needed to downgrade it).
How does aptitude decide which one to choose? Shouldn't it prefer to do something that won't break other packages? Or should it ask the user for help?
