Bug Description
Not sure yet if it's a server or client issue, probably client, but I'm filing it against the server first.
Switched ls1 over to use apt instead of smart (client trunk revision 433). LS offered me some libxml2 upgrades (3), and I selected libxml2 to be upgraded. I was expecting to be prompted for the other 2 xml related packages.
What I got back is a huge proposal that will remove a lot of seemingly unrelated packages from the machine. This is the activity:
https:/
Here is what it will do. Remember I asked libxml2 to be upgraded:
Upgrade package libxml2 ls1-lucid

Abort.
ls1 is still in that state, I haven't touched it, and so is the activity in landscape.
If you are going to restart the client on ls1, remember to export USE_APT_FACADE=1 before as I didn't change the initscripts to set that variable.
To be safe, I "broke" smart on that machine, adding a raise() and a sys.exit(1) to /usr/lib/

This is definitely a problem in the client. I think we need to configure the ProblemResolver differently, to tell it not to fix problems by removing packages.
I don't think I have access to ls1. Could please tar up /var/lib/dpkg and give it to me? With that I should be able to reproduce it locally, without messing with ls1.
