[Bug 194140] Re: Dependency cycle prevents upgrade of libsasl2-2

[Martin-Éric Racine]

This issue is still present in Karmic alpha 4:

I'm starting to think that it might be a good idea to duplicate this bug
and assign it to APT as a 100 Paper Cut bug, because that error message
(2) doesn't tell the user anything useful. That number (2) should be
replaced with a proper explanation of what's preventing apt-get from
upgrading the packages.
