Agreed, although with complicated "package systems", it can get messy.
An openoffice.org-draw dependency issue bit me a few weeks ago. I
had to manually (using "dpkg -r" remove all of the openoffice.org*
packages before I could finish the in-progress "apt-get upgrade".
Was able to reinstall them a few days later.
But, it didn't munge Tbird, FF or xnethack, and I still had gnumeric
and AbiWord, so I wasn't too aggravated.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
