Comment 2 for bug 6512

You are right - synaptic can manage most problematical situations - but I think that synaptic should solve these problems automatically.

User interaction is in fact not needed - synaptic should fix broken packages automatically.

Unfortunately there are situations when postinst/preinst/etc. scripts are broken and then user has to fix them manually to remove or fix package but that's not synaptic problem. These problems should be reported to packages that are broken not to synaptic.

I think that you could send my comment as feature request to synaptic upstream and close this bug here.
