Lucky you!

aptitude wanted to remove 45 packages yesterday. I spent about 5 hours 
to manually resolve dependencies by uninstalling packages, removing lib* 
packages, adding lib*v5 packages and adding the uninstalled packages 
again to get ALL dependencies resolved

I am not sure it it's a problem of aptitude or the resolver in general, 
but I was not able to "just update".

Best regards
