Is it normal that apt tries to remove one package and install four others, in
favour of removing none and installing three????
I hardly find that expected behaviour, unless there is some dark and evil
feature which wants to install as much on users systems as possible - and
looks more like the microsoft way to me.
This is even more bothersome because I don't *want* any packages removed - if
there's a way for apt to do what I've asked without removing stuff than that
is what it should do.

Filip
