Aptitude VS Adept/Synaptic (divergence in dependencies)

[DMurray]

When I run "aptitude -f install" in a command line, it shows some dependencies broken, mainly those related to Xorg and Ubuntu-minimal, from which I remove uneeded ttf fonts (thai, japanese, chinese...) and video drivers that my nvidia card doesn't need (it tries to reinstall everything again). It even wants to remove Cedega.
On the other hand, Synaptic says that there are 0 broken dependencies, and installs/removes/updates programs normally.
Anyone else experienced this?

I haven't seen it. Try "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade", and "apt-get autoremove" (but check over the list of things to remove).

They go without any kind of error.
Running "aptitude -f install" and paying attention to what is broken, I see:
linux-image-amd64-k8

This is the defective package. Since the kernel-generic obsoletes it, I don't have it. Why should I?

Re: Aptitude VS Adept/Synaptic (divergence in dependencies)

The broken dependency problem is solved, but "aptitude -f install" still wants to remove "cedega-small", automatically install "transcode-doc", install a bunch of new packages, and remove "kde-hal-device-manager kde-style-comix kde-style-klearlook kde-style-serenity ksysv kwin-style-alphacube kwin-style-blended kwin-style-dekorator kwin-style-knifty kwin-style-powder
kwin-style-serenity".
Don't understand why, everything runs just fine.
