The issue, I think, is that apt doesn't deal gracefully with a package
refusing to install.  Instead of working, next time around, as if the
package hadn't installed at all, it's in a "broken" state and needs
things to be fixed.

It gives a moderately decent hint about how to fix things, but that
doesn't work if one of its sources advertises a new version single
package which isn't available.
