yes, it returns immediately with no errors and no output.
I have tried 'aptitude search '-b' and it returns a list of broken
packages. I have manually removed a few and am now down to 51 broken
packages, but I'm afraid that even if I remove all the broken packages,
aptitude is still going to behave the same way while attempting to
resolve all the dependencies and never finish.
What would be nice is some command that would install the dependencies
of the broken packages, but would that get into the same loop of
resolving dependencies that never finishes?
