Package: debfoster Version: 2.7-2.1+b1 Severity: normal After upgrading from jessie to stretch, debfoster is very confused and tends to remove a lot of packages that it should not. For example:
$ apt install liferea Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done liferea is already the newest version (1.12~rc3-1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. # grep liferea /var/lib/debfoster/keepers -liferea-data ...so the liferea package is installed, and debfoster hasn't been told to remove or keep it. Normally, on the next run debfoster would ask me whether to keep the package. But instead: $ debfoster libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is keeping the following 1 packages installed: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 Keep libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37? [Ynpsiuqx?], [H]elp: N python3-notify2 is keeping the following 1 packages installed: python3-dbus Keep python3-notify2? [Ynpsiuqx?], [H]elp: N Keep elpa-async?
