Package: wajig
Version: 2.18.1
Severity: important
Hi,
"wajig install package" tries to remove a bunch of unrelated packages,
for example:
env LC_ALL=C wajig install apt-src
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gir1.2-wnck-3.0 libbrlapi0.6 libdotconf0 liblouis-data liblouis14 libspeechd2
libwnck-3-0 libwnck-3-common
libxres1 orca python3-brlapi python3-louis python3-speechd speech-dispatcher
speech-dispatcher-audio-plugins
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apt-src
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 15 to remove and 10 not upgraded.
I've seen this behaviour for ages, but I cannot get used to it, because
in my opinion this is just a classic WTF.
Every time I try use "wajig install" I'm ending up with "sudo apt-get install"
because it's much simpler than checking why "apt-get install --auto-remove"
(that is called by wajig) thinks that it is OK to remove my packages. apt-get
*made* wrong choices in the past, that's why I prefer to remove packages
manually via e.g. synaptic or orphaner (what also means that I never use
"wajig remove" or "wajig purge", which - judging from the source code -
share the same counterintuitive behaviour with "wajig install").
Regards,
robert

Thanks for the report and suggestion.
Wajig relies on apt-get as you note and thus has the same behaviour.
Closing this bug which is perhaps more of a feature request than a bug
in the software.
