Bug#766584: fenics: Fenics to be removed with recent dist-upgrade

[Massimiliano Leoni]

Ok, somehow the problem seems to be solved.
I had to reinstall debian for external reasons, but then apt-get complained 
about some missing dependency and didn't let me install fenics.

For other's reference, I solved installing fenics with aptitude, which all of 
a sudden seems to be smarter than apt-get in managing dependencies.
