Are you sure about this?  Very likely it installed and removed packages
that you actually needed/couldn't have based upon other package requests
that you made.  I used to think it was buggy but after finding it had
selected a whole lot of packages for installation that I didn't want and
tracing through all their dependencies I realised that it was actually
trying to comply with my wishes.  It's easy to mistake not understanding
what a program is doing with bugs in the program.
