I am not sure whether it is a bug in apts package selection scheme
(then it would be important or even grave), but at least it is a bug
in it's debug output.
Following situation:
On a woody system (logged into pbuilder chroot) with tetex-extra,
dvipdfm and gs plus all their dependencies installed, I add the
unstable to the sources list.
In sarge and sid, the tetex packages provide dvipdfm (for details see
below) and should be upgraded, while dvipdfm should be removed. Apt,
however, decides to remove tetex-bin and tetex extra.
Here are the details of dependencies:
# grep dvipdfm tetex-bin/tetex-bin-2.0.2/debian/control | cut -d ":" -f 1
Replaces
Conflicts
Provides
# grep dvipdfm tetex-base/tetex-base-2.0.2/debian/control | cut -d ":" -f 1
Replaces
#
(tetex-base get's some of dvipdfm's files, they are now in a separate
source tarball)
This is what apt-get says, with Debug::pkgProblemResolver "true":

Abort.
That is, it first says that tetex-bin has a broken dependency on
dvipdfm, but instead of resolving it the proper way, it removes it.
(dvipdfm Suggests gs, while tetex-bin Suggests gs | gs-aladdin |
gs-esp in unstable, only gs | gs-aladdin in woody). gs-aladdin is
_not_ installed. And it shouldn't need to be.
Then I used the bunk-2 packages instead of unstable, which have the
same versions as unstable (bunk-2 is is a collection with backports
for woody), the output looks even more strange:

It might well be that the real cause lies in an error of the
package relationship declarations of the tetex packages. But it's hard
to debug this if the output of apt-get is so strange.
