Thats a bug of apt... There should be an apt fix-my-system command that just looks at the state of everything, and figures out how to get everything back towards a working system.

And make sure it keeps a log of everything it did so it can be rolled back if it doesn't work as promised.

Aptitude does total fix-my-system. I have tried it several times. The suggested fix is always: remove everything and then reinstall the broken package. It does not even try to reinstall those packages it has just destroyed.
