I don't think this is the problem. I did some further debugging, and tried with a freshly debootstrapped sid. Running apt install ./gtk+3.0-build-deps_3.22.1-4_amd64.deb inside that fresh chroot did lead to Automatically installed: yes for gobject-introspection. I went looking what the difference between the chroot and my real system is. Turns out I have a /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates. This file/db was created in the past, when I manually changed the autostate with aptitude interactive mode. So, the complete steps to reproduce the issue: - create a fresh chroot via debootstrap - start aptitude in interactive mode, select a random, non-related package, say netbase, mark it as auto-installed via "M" - exit aptitude and install the example deb via apt install ./... - then check the auto state of gobject-introspection. It will now differ between aptitude and apt. The key here is, that you need to have a /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
