Package: gnuplot
Version: 4.6.5-2
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainer,

since the 4.6.5-2 upload gnuplot is uninstallable at least on amd64:

gnuplot depends on gnuplot-nox and ( gnuplot-x11 or gnuplot-qt )

Both, gnuplot-x11 and gnuplot-qt conflict with gnuplot-nox.

To fix #741073 properly you should only have changed the order of the
alternative dependencies with gnuplot-nox as last alternative. That
perfectly suffices to change the default.
