Package: apt Version: 1.8.0~alpha2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
apt-get is great to install packages. Especially when the package at hand is locally lying around on the harddisk. It even resolves dependencies through its algorithm. So far, so good. What I tried after an "apt-get -y install ./foo.deb" was an "apt-get -y purge ./foo.deb" to see if it might work too. It seemingly is able to figure out the package name, because it gives these messages: #v+ Note, selecting 'irssi-build-deps' instead of './irssi-build-deps_1.1.1-1_all.deb' irssi-build-deps is already the newest version (1.1.1-1). #v- It seemingly is able to figure out the package name from the given filename, but then seems to have forgotten that a purge was requested, not an install, which feels a bit weird. (Background of this is some auto package building that I want to set up and need to purge the build-dependencies afterwards again, and the basis is just the filename that mk-buid-deps created. Probably not the wisest approach, and I'll look into other ways to do it, but this made me stumble upon this. :)) Hope that helps, Rhonda
