Package: synaptic
Version: 0.57.11.1
Severity: normal


I wanted to upgrade libfuse2, and selected 'mark for upgrade'.
Synaptic says it wants to remove these packes in order to make the
upgrade:
	fuse-utils
	ntfsprogs
	sshfs

However, if I select fuse-utils for upgrading first, and then upgrade
libfuse2, it doesn't complain.

'aptitude install libfuse2' correctly detects that fuse-utils needs to
be upgraded to successfully install libfuse2.

Also, 'apt-get install libfuse2' behaves same as synaptic, it wants to
remove those 3 packages.

I think that synaptic should check if upgrading a package it wants to
remove would solve the dependency. 
Maybe, it should just use aptitude's dependency resolver, 
which is much better for solving these kinds of conflicts, than
apt-get's dependency resolver.

Hi,

Kinda embarrassing to say that after 8 years, but I can't even think of
a way to reproduce this as such upgrades are the bread and butter of apt
and work for me™. I guess there was some special condition involved not
mentioned in the bugreport, but is now lost in time…

So, there are two options: Leaving this bugreport open for ever, like it
was done the last few years or closing it and waiting for someone to
report it again with new data.

Assuming it isn't fixed in the meantime which is a possibility… I will
be optimistic and close it assuming the later. :) But if you can by some
miracle still reproduce this, feel free to reopen of course!


Best regards
