Ok, I just misunderstood your and Jonathan's suggestion. I thought you meant the packages were being scheduled for removal because there were multiple "auto" packages satisfying the relationship, not because there were multiple packages installed (regardless of their auto-installed status) satisfying the relationship. Obviously, the latter makes more sense. Thanks for the explanations. > Anyway, I understand that some may prefer less agressive behavior and do > not welcome changes in 2.4.0. Something like > > | cupt::resolver::not-autoremove-if-rdepends-exist '.*' From a grammatical perspective, that should probably be "no" instead of "not".
