Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: normal

I've bumped many times into the following variant of the problem:

   # aptitude install linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-686
   The following NEW packages will be installed:
     linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-686{b} (D: linux-base)
   0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 26 not upgraded.
   Need to get 27.8 MB of archives. After unpacking 79.9 MB will be used.
   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-686: Depends: linux-base (>=
2.6.37-1~experimental.1) but 2.6.36-1~experimental.1 is installed.
   The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

        Keep the following packages at their current version:
   1)     linux-image-2.6.37-trunk-686 [Not Installed]

   Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

I think it's only natural that the first solution proposed to the user should
be chosen to be one that does not collide with the constraints explicitly
mentioned on the command line.
