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
