Package: libqt4-test
Version: 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installing libqt4-core installs libqt4-test as a dependency.
However, libqt4-test is marked as 'manually' installed, which was not the case.
After removing libqt4-core, libqt4-test is not marked as autoremovable.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I had to manually remove the package.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected libqt4-test to be marked as automatically installed, not manual, and
hence be automatically cleaned by "apt-get autoremove".
The package is clearly marked as manual:
$ apt-mark showmanual | grep libqt4-test
libqt4-test
Regards,
Fran

Version: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-20+rm
src:qt4-x11 was last released with Debian 10 (buster)
in July 2019 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by newer versions.
See https://bugs.debian.org/953294 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
