More and more people test devel release of Ubuntu. While we give adequate warnings on the risks of running ubuntu+1 releases sometimes it's not enough.
update-manager has a concept of a "partial upgrade" which seems to be more trouble than it's worth. Perhaps give the user a more descriptive set of options, something like:
a) Wait until later until the archive works itself out.
b) Install stuff, but don't remove anything
c) Do a partial upgrade (and perhaps a scary warning like apt does when you try to remove glibc. "Yes, I recognize that I could explode my machine, do it."
Or perhaps something like "Something bad has happened, go use apt-get" or something that makes it clear that update-manager is confused. |

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#updating>: "If the new package conflicts with installed packages, a confirmation alert should appear: ‘“{title}” can’t be updated unless these items are removed:’, with “Cancel” and “Update & Install” buttons, but otherwise identical to the equivalent alert when installing a new package." |
