E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled.

gedit has an unversioned scrollkeeper dependancy, which is also Provided
by rarian-compat (which was installed on the system already), and yet
apt-get decides that rarian-compat is broken and wants to remove rarian-compat
and install scrollkeeper rather than the simpler option of sticking to the 
installed program. WTF?

FYI, "apt-cache show rarian-compat" for the currently installed version
of that gives:

Package: rarian-compat
Priority: extra
Section: doc
Installed-Size: 328
Maintainer: Frederic Peters <fpeters@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Source: rarian
Version: 0.6.0-1
Replaces: scrollkeeper
Provides: scrollkeeper
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), librarian0, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1)
Conflicts: scrollkeeper

Me, I'm not seeing a dependancy on scrollkeeper....

Writing a testcase based on this description:

insertpackage 'unstable' 'gedit' 'all' '1' 'Depends: scrollkeeper'
insertpackage 'unstable' 'scrollkeeper' 'all' '1'
insertinstalledpackage 'rarian-compat' 'all' '1' 'Provides: scrollkeeper'

setupaptarchive

aptget install gedit -s

and running it:

Shows that this was fixed in the meantime, so this bug can be closed
