# apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true --purge dselect-upgrade barfs up kilometers of broken dep messages, the next day it is fewer, but still several broken deps... I switch to using upgrade instead of dselect-upgrade until the latter stops complaining, which might take a week. My question is why can't this drama be played out behind the scenes? Why can't all the dependency stuff be resolved first before it is sent to sid? Or is that how dependency problems are detected and hunt down? If so, then why can't this be played out offline and fixed instead of sending it to sid for all to share the misery? There should be a check that no dependency inconsistencies are present before each daily propagation of sid; or one is not allowed to touch sid unless the result leaves no dependency inconsistencies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
