Bug Description
Binary package hint: bochsbios
The qemu package was updated to require bochsbios-qemu today, a virtual package.
Unfortunately, bochsbios does not provide this requirement, so this package is uninstallable. Worse, because of this "update", aptitude wants to uninstall the existing bochsbios as being unused.
bochsbios 2.3-2etch1

bochsbios-qemu is not a virtual package. It landed in the archive this morning. You just attempted an upgrade at an unfortunate time. If you have no other need for bochsbios, it's safe to remove it after bochsbios-qemu has been installed.
