In my up-to-date Testing system, Aptitude suddenly says that many packages are
broken! It also says that many packages are unused and wants to remove them!
Apt-get gives similar errors. I did not do anything recently; I have no idea
what caused this. Kindly help.
$ sudo aptitude install smartmontools

0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 117 to remove and 45 not upgraded.

Uncaught exception: ../../../src/generic/problemresolver/problemresolver.h:2216:

failed.
1. The Aptitude package removal problem ("117 to remove") might be
resolved using Florian's magic bullet:
# aptitude keep-all
(see
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Aptitude_-_using_together_with_Synaptic_and_Apt-get)
2. The broken packages might be fixed using aptitude with the "-f"
switch (see man 8 aptitude):
# aptitude -f install
