When I select a group of packages under Status/Auto-removable for complete
removal I often get a dialog full of warning messages saying I have held
broken packages. I copied the following from the dialog box:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I immediately try again and it does what it should have originally,
with no warning messages.
