Bug#532338: python-apt: Cache class should provide a broken attribute
Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.7.1+nmu1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The Cache class should provide an API to determinate the existance of
broken dependencies. Currently you have to access the private _depcache.
Cheers,
Sebastian
