Hi Sven, 2016-02-22 10:57 Sven Joachim:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.6-1 Severity: importantI have the packages iceweasel and libwine on hold, and all of a sudden "aptitude safe-upgrade" declares packages that depend on them as unused and wants to remove them: ,---- | $ LANG=C aptitude -s -V -D safe-upgrade | Resolving dependencies... | The following packages will be REMOVED: | iceweasel-l10n-de{u} [1:38.6.1esr-1~deb8u1] wine{u} [1.6.2-22] wine32{u} [1.6.2-22] (D: wine) | 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 6 not upgraded. | Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1014 kB will be freed. | | Note: Using 'Simulate' mode. | Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] | Would download/install/remove packages. `---- None of these three packages is marked as manually installed: ,---- | $ LANG=C aptitude versions libwine wine wine32 iceweasel iceweasel-l10n-de | Package iceweasel: | ih 38.6.1esr-1~deb8u1 100 | ph 44.0.2-1 unstable 500 | ph 45.0~b5-1 experimental 101 | | Package iceweasel-l10n-de: | i 1:38.6.1esr-1~deb8u1 100 | p 1:44.0.2-1 unstable 500 | p 1:45.0~b5-1 experimental 101 | | Package libwine: | ihA 1.6.2-22 100 | phA 1.8.1-2 unstable 500 | | Package wine: | i 1.6.2-22 100 | p 1.8.1-2 unstable 500 | | Package wine32: | i 1.6.2-22 100 | p 1.8.1-2 unstable 500 `---- A workaround is to put the affected packages on hold as well, but this ought not to be necessary.
Have you used 0.7.5 until now and this only happens after upgrading aptitude to .6? Did something else happen since the last time that you ran safe-upgrade, e.g. upgrade of apt? Also, if you hold and then unhold wine and iceweasel-l10n-de, it keeps trying to remove them as unused, or did it only happen the first time (before marking them as hold)? Cheers. -- Manuel A.
