    Hi Xaver,

Do not use apt-get upgrade with Sid - never ever!

Missing dependencies will break the system.

    I don’t understand how apt-get would be able to install a package without its dependencies.

    What I am seeing is that apt-get is (by default) “refusing” to upgrade (some) packages that require the install of dependencies.

    I don’t see that breaking my system.

    What behavior have you experienced where apt-get caused breakage?
