Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-8.1
Severity: important
While the TUI ensures that Recommends are not broken, this is not
the case of the CLI. For instance:
In the TUI, if I ask to remove libre-engine-re2-perl and type 'g',
I get:
[1(1)/...] Actions: no changes
e: Examine !: Apply .: Next ,: Previous
and with 'e', aptitude informs:
--\ Leave the following recommendations unresolved:
libregexp-pattern-license-perl recommends libre-engine-re2-perl
libstring-copyright-perl recommends libre-engine-re2-perl
libstring-license-perl recommends libre-engine-re2-perl
But this package is removed without any warning from the CLI:
# aptitude install -s libre-engine-re2-perl-
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libre-engine-re2-perl
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 240 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 63.5 kB will be freed.
Would download/install/remove packages.
The -r option has no effect.
Note: In the TUI, it does not seem possible to mark a long list of
packages (e.g. copy-pasted) to be upgraded (and in addition to that,
some packages to be removed), while with the CLI, one can provide
such a list. Hence the need of the CLI instead of the TUI in some
cases.
