Even a merge request that says, "# autopkgtest should now do something like 'apt blalbla' here" is already easier to discuss than by words in this thread. I am rather involved in several corner cases in autopkgtest at the moment already, so taking this along my be easier then with some clear hints. By the way, do we have any feeling is the aspcud solver for APT does better (or worse) in this case? I am still wondering if we want that solver as a fall-back or if we could even use that by default (that would be more tempting if this bug would be solved by it as well). Paul
