Package: apt
Version: 0.7.22.2
Severity: normal
I get a constant loop of:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
...
The following NEW packages will be installed
librarian0
...
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
...
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
librarian0
The following packages will be REMOVED
librarian0
The dist-upgrade step didn't want to upgrade any packages, simply
install one new one.
