Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
During an install on a mostly sarge system of newer "x-window-system-core" from testing, apt-get warns of dependency problems but doesn't prompt for permission to proceed or suggest any solution.
I'd expect the dependency resolution to either remove the packages which no longer have their dependencies met or to upgrade them so that they depend on the newer packages being installed. I'd thought the dependency problems would be recognised in the initial stages and resolved in the solution presented before the "Do you want to continue? [Y/n]". Failing this automation, should there not be a warning and some opportunity to abort the install?
My example is below. Is this expected behaviour? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew Archibald (andrew@choppywater.net)
