Hmmm.. root cause seems to be aptitude package dependency resolver.
This is so typical ...  I like aptitude but I do not like this
happening.

            ^^^^^^^^
There may be some packages which want 4:4.11.2-3 version.

This is the new updated text from my "Debian Refrence":

  The package dependency resolver of the aptitude command tends to
  suggests mass package removals when packages in unstable is temporary
  inconsistent. This situation is a bit frightening. Usually, "apt-get
  dist-upgrade" should resolve this situation. This situation seems to be
  caused mostly by the version skew among packages depended or recommended
  by a meta-package such as gnome-core.
