There might be a bug in apt or some unclear dependencies in
libxmpcore-java. If I do a »apt upgrade; apt-get autoremove«,
libxmpcore-java gets installed and removed every time (that is also the
case using apt-get to upgrade so not limited to the new apt binarie).

   Calculating upgrade... The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
      libxmpcore-java (5.1.2-2)
   Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
   Done
   The following NEW packages will be installed:
      libxmpcore-java (5.1.2-2)
   [...]
   The following packages will be REMOVED:
      libxmpcore-java* (5.1.2-2)

As you can see, even apt detects bevore installing it that the package
is not needed.
