Package: apt
Version: 0.6.41
Severity: important

I'm trying to install package xserver-xorg which xserver-xfree86 is currently
installed.  When I do this, it wants to install some packages that
xserver-xorg recommends.  It wants to install discover1 discover1-data
libdiscover1 which I do not want on any of my systems.  I have noticed this
on every machine I upgrade to xorg if xfree is installed.  If I remove
xserver-xfree86 first, it will not install these packages.

I'm installing the xorg from SID, however, I'm not sure if APT is from sid or
sarge.  I saw it with apt 0.5.xx (unsure on xx)

Here's an example of what I mean:
# apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install xserver-xorg

This is almost 3-years old bug with unreproducible packages.
I see nothing to do with this bug, so I'm closing it.

Reopen if you objects.
