Re: apt-get -f dist-upgrade removing dpkg-dev
This is probably a terrible, klutzy, inept thing to do--but
I had a similar problem with unstable a bit ago, and after a
few days I just let it have its head, uninstall what it liked,
and I just kept track of the packages and re-installed the. Then
it worked fine.
There it is, FWIW.
