Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdebi
When installing a deb gdebi does not check if the deb would break other depndencies on the system.
Example (installed):
Package: smc
Depends: smc-data (= 1.4)
Example (new instal):
Package: smc-data
Version: 1.6
Installing smc-data will be allowed by gdebi but that breaks the exisiting smc package.
