[Bug 1304403] Re: Precise to Trusty - all of main - fails: Broken transition from libkadm5srv-mit8 to libkadm5srv-mit9

[Michael Vogt]

I uploaded a workaround with a transitional package. I also looked into what went wrong in the resolver. Here is what happend:
- pkgDistUpgrade goes over the installed package and mark them all for upgrade
- pkg libkadm5srv-mit9 gets installed as a dependency of krb5-multidev and causes the removal of libkadm5srv-mit8
- pkgDistUpgrade arrives at libkadm5srv-mit8 and marks it for upgrade which causes a MarkKeep() because there is no upradable version 

The last step is wrong in libapt, I will look into creating a
testcase/fix for this.
