I extremely rarely say yes to something like "removing?" ... and only if
I can be sure I don't need the package(s) to be removed.
Sometimes in these situations I do a
apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
(more on
<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-dist-upgrade>)
Often I simply wait for a few days until all dependencies are met with
new, uploaded packages ...
Best Regards
Wolfgang
