Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: normal


I am not sure when this behaviour changed, but I'd like it at least to be 
configurable:

when manually upgrading packages in aptitude that have the "A" automatic
flag using the "+" command, the "A" flag is lost and one needs to use the
"M" command to re-mark the package as automatic.

I'd prefer that using "+" on packages already marked as "A" resulted the
package being marked for upgrade *without* removing the "A" flag as the
"m" command is perfectly capable of being used to remove the "A" flag.

Version: 0.6.4-1

There are several different bugs in this report.  The main issue
reported is fixed and others that are still open are tracked
elsewhere.  Closing this report with pointers to related.

* Upgrading packages clears all of auto-installed.

Message: #5, #27, #37, #126, #136
Last report: 0.6.3-4
Fixed: 0.6.4-1

This was fixed once and reappeared with apt 0.8.11.2.  A few
days later apt 0.8.11.5 tried to fix it failed to do so
completely.

Starting with aptitude 0.6.4-1 the auto-installed status of
a package is saved and restored for each MarkInstall action
by aptitude, effectively resolving the issue.  Not the best
solution, but works.

See <http://bugs.debian.org/622719>.

<http://bugs.debian.org/613775> would solve this better.

* --schedule-only does not mark packages as auto-installed.

Message: #32, #72
Last report: 0.4.6.1-1
Fixed: 0.4.7-1

See <http://bugs.debian.org/435079>.

* Conflict resolver clears some (not all) auto-installed.

Message: #106

Can happen during upgrades, though also other actions.  The
cause is distinct (the problem resolver clears the auto-
installed status when applying it's solution) and only some
packages are affected.

It is not clear whether this behaviour is incorrect in all
cases.  Some actions may actually require the clearing of
auto-installed on some packages.

Needs more investigation; see <http://bugs.debian.org/638049>.

* Installing a held package clears auto-installed status.

Message: #123

Verified to be fixed in current versions, most likely by the
fix for #622719.

* Upgrade, then abort at apt-listbugs prompt, clears auto-installed

Message: #62

Verified to be fixed in current versions.

* Upgrade + removal, then abort at apt-listbugs prompt, clears auto-installed

Message: #141

Still seems to occur.  I have filed this case as a new
report which needs further investigation.  See
<http://bugs.debian.org/686573>.
