I think Axel can reproduce it with any mirror.

$ dpkg --get-selections|perl -nwle 'print unless /\binstall\b/;'
$
I do do
# aptitude forbid-version perl perl-base perl-doc
but I don't think that affects it.

Ah ha!

OK that worked!

Now to install qgis:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qgis : Depends: libgdal.so.1-1.11.2 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     qgis [Not Installed]


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Install the following packages:
1)     gdal-bin [1.11.2+dfsg-3 (unstable)]
2)     python-gdal [1.11.2+dfsg-3 (unstable)]

     Downgrade the following packages:
3)     libgdal1i [1.11.3+dfsg-1~exp1 (experimental, now) -> 1.11.2+dfsg-3 (unstable)]


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Y
OK that worked!

But only if I go around it the manual way.

And now aptitude full-upgrade says
