On a distro upgrade, prune the dependency tree and upgrade
just the packages it can (like apt-get's --fix-missing option).
what if it's not on a distro ugprade? just a normal update.. - what
then?
The remaining packages will need to be cleaned up by the user,
but in general the bulk of the packages can still be upgraded.
wouldn't that result in broken dependencies in the db?
