Package: synaptic
Version: 0.70~pre1+b1
Severity: normal
Hi, since a recent version upgrade (around the time the "quick search" feature
was added, which btw should REALLY be renamed to "filter", but anyway) synaptic
will unset the "auto installed" flag for any package which gets upgraded.
I've marked this as grave because this is data loss, and it's also definitely a
regression. It makes it very inconvenient to try to keep your package database
as clean as possible, and impossible unless you take backups of it.

happens with apt-get 0.8, fixed in apt-get 0.8.5. aptitude is unaffected, which
is why i thought this was a synaptic issue. i guess this seems to be fixed.
thanks!
