Title:
  auto-fix detection no longer works

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-manager” source package in Quantal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I ran into a system that contained a broken apt cache (inconsistent
  dependencies) today from a upgrade.

  In the past update-manager was able to detect and fix system like this. This seems to be no longer the case.
  To test:
  1. sudo apt-get install 4g8
  2. sudo dpkg -r  --force-depends libnet1
  3. update-manager

  at this point update-manager should complain and offer a fix but it
  does no longer.
