Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: normal
The aptitude README says that aptitude::Keep-Recommends defaults to
"false". Despite that, whether I rely on this default or I explicitly
set aptitude::Keep-Recommends to "false" in my ~/.aptitude/config,
aptitude still keeps automatic packages installed even though no
package Depends on them, as long as some installed package Recommends
them.
Specific test case: hal Recommends libsmbios-bin, but no package
Depends on libsmbios-bin. With hal installed, I installed
libsmbios-bin, and then marked it as automatic, but aptitude did not
remove it.
