Bug#435662: apt: wants to install more packages even if the dependencies are satisfied
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.5
Severity: normal
Hello,
I'm sorry this bug is quite old (but still present in an updated sid),
but I tried to better debug it without success. The output is quite
self-explicative: xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-input-kbd and
xserver-xorg-video-intel should be enough to satisfy xserver-xorg
Depends: on "xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-1.0,
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input".
