@Michael

There are no files in /var/log/dist-upgrade. I think the bug lies with MOTU/core-dev not having the correct dependencies in the Intrepid archive yet, not in update-manager.

I'm able to confirm this bug on a fresh Hardy installation, updated to Intrepid.

/var/log/dist-upgrade/ is empty.

Thanks for the clarification.

I reassign this against apt as a request to make the resolver more robust.
