Oh I have fond memories of aptitude breaking my system. Once it
suggested me to remove most of my system, including apt, I thought
it
was going to upgrade it so I confirmed it. I had to reinstall apt
from
the debian packages website.
In this new installation I gave it another try but when it started
suggesting very weird plans(like remove all gnome packages) ...
It seems like aptitude has gotten a lot smarter lately. :)
Not this morning it wasn't.
Aptitude has been refusing to do a full upgrade on my Jessie system
for the past two weeks because it said it needed xorg-video-abi-12
but
it said it is not installable. Well, not so. I tried running Synaptic
this morning and it had no problem finding what it needed and
installing it. I still don't understand what the difference was but
Synaptic did what aptitude said it couldn't do. What could be the
difference ? Does Synaptic not use the same repo source files
aptitude
uses?
