Control: tags -1 + pending
Hi Tuomo, 2005-09-16 12:22 Tuomo Valkonen:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-6 Severity: important Aptitude dist-upgrade reinstalls packages removed with dpkg -r or other package tools. Although perhaps intended, this behaviour seriously hinders the usability of the package. If I remove a package -- with any tool -- I most certainly do _not_ want it back. If aptitude implements "reinstall currently broken packages at later time" functionality, it should do it differently, in cooperation with other programs. Either add such an option option to dpkg itself, or have a database of packages marked as such, not its own database of "packages once installed" or something, as it seems to do now.
To celebrate the 10th birthday of this bug report, I think that I fixed it in the repository and it will be present in the next release, so I am marking it as +pending. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
