Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
i'm afraid marking several packages as auto_installed is currently broken in wheezy. I found out an easy way to reproduce may situation: % debootstrap wheezy wheezy http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian % chroot wheezy % apt-get install libtiff4 # installs libjbig0 libjpeg8 as extra packages % apt-get remove libtiff4 % apt-get autoremove libtiff4 # doesn't remove libjpeg8 and libjbig0 % aptitude why libjbig0 i vim-common Recommends vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-athena | vim-nox | vim-tiny p vim-gtk Depends libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) p libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Depends libtiff4 (>= 3.9.5-2) p libtiff4 Depends libjbig0 % aptitude why libjpeg8 i vim-common Recommends vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-athena | vim-nox | vim-tiny p vim-gtk Depends libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) p libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Depends libjpeg8 (>= 8c) I believe the problem is, that the packages are not tagged as 'Automatically installed': % aptitude show libjbig0 Package: libjbig0 State: installed Automatically installed: no Multi-Arch: same Version: 2.0-2+deb7u1 Priority: extra Section: libs Maintainer: Michael van der Kolff <mvanderko...@gmail.com> Architecture: amd64 Uncompressed Size: 98.3 k Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5) PreDepends: multiarch-support Description: JBIGkit libraries Homepage: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/ however i can remove both packages by % apt-get remove libjbig0 libjpeg8 and no further dependencies are removed. I expect that apt-get autoremove removes those both libraries. If I do the same, with another package, eg. vim-nox auto-removal of the installed dependencies works. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image.*"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
