mintupdate mistakenly reports updates on dependencies which need to be
removed. This sends synaptic conflicting messages as it's told to
upgrade but also to keep the packages that need to be removed.
The issue was identified in mintupdate and will make its way towards
LMDE and Mint 11.
The error message from synaptic is a bit cryptic and doesn't pinpoint
the package in cause... but the bug itself is definitely related to
mintupdate.
Sorry for the confusion on this and the time it took us to find the
cause.

Title:
When an update that removes packages is available, mintUpdate falsely
reports that there are broken packages that need to be fixed first.
