Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Intrepid with apt 0.7.14ubuntu6 alternately wants to remove and add python-dateutil. If I invoke apt-get autoremove, apt removes the package. If I then invoke apt-get dist-upgrade, it installs it.

Apt should either take it or leave it, but it seems to be of two minds. Output of dpkg -l attached.
Thanks for your bugreport.
Could you please run: pkgDepCache: :AutoInstall= true
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -o Debug::
and attach the output here?
