I am aware that dist-upgrade can remove packages, but I thought this is
only when other packages replace them.
In this case, there is no replacement, only a conflict. Usually I see
this state as broken with aptitude giving options to work around the
breakage - often holding back or removing packages.
There was no conflict given for gnucash[-common] today and
aptitude/apt-get was just going to remove gnucash without prompting me
for a resolution. This seems wrong, and was the point of my original
posting.
