I consider that a bug.  Why are conflicts only marked in
update-manager instead of in the packages conflicts list?  That was
the case with the newer-kernel v. EVMS bug if you upgraded from Dapper
through to Gutsy (and I don't mean skipping releases, just doing lots
of dist-upgrades over the years).  What exactly are you supposed to do
on a system without X?  Just let it break?  The issues and options
should come through at the command line level and just bubble up
through to the GUI.
