Comment 16 for bug 133165

I upgraded this morning from Feisty to Gutsy using update-manager -d

I have just attempted a dist-upgrade. The operative line in my bash alias is: sudo aptitude --with-recommends dist-upgrade. Note in the following screen output that libmtp5 is listed as unused and to be automatically removed. But the line of screen output that I would normally expect stating "Removing package <foobar>" is not there.
