This is an interesting problem. I'd try pinning the installed version to the same priority as your "highest" release (500 by default). Assuming you have sid without any special pinning this should look like: Package: fglrx-driver Pin: version 1:14.4.2-1 Pin-Priority: 500 Explanation: don't remove Note: I'd probably have the same problem with nvidia-driver, but my aptitude is not suggesting removals as first option anymore due to: // tweak Aptitude to not suggest removals as first option Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost "removals"; Hope this helps, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
