Ah good, thanks for the clearing up what Frank was implying.
So if package a package such as x-window-system depends on another
package, say xdm, and after installation you remove xdm. Then what
happens if dist-upgrade wants to install a newer version of
x-window-system that depends on xdm which is not installed? Will xdm not
be installed? I understand that apt-get will say that it's going to do
so.
