Perhaps this is the obsolets issue. Apt looks for obsoletes all the
time (and flags them as errors). Yum just processes obsoletes at
install time - and only if the obsoletes=1 is enabled (and doesn't nag
us later)

'apt-get -f' will process the obsoletes - and delete the obsoleted
packages - after which apt will stop complaining.
