[Bug 933556] Re: aptitude is totally unusable due to rolling list of internal errors

[LaunchPeter]

Same here. The resolver seems to wonder, that there are packages he selected to remove, that stay (since there are two versions of them in multiarch).
In my case I want to deinstall XFCE and this crazy resolver wants to offer a solution which would remove libc6.

This guy seems to have the same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com
