The reason is that [2] decides to keep libaudit0 installed. I haven't figured out yet why its a -1 draw between libaudit0 and libaudit-common in the aptfirst case rather than a 'clear' 0 vs 8 as in the regular case, but I have to note that its quiet strange that the audit family of packages is prio:optional while they are a direct pre-dependency of an essential package (login)… not to mention systemd and sudo (which is probably the reason this package appears in another instance). Getting the priority of audit pkgs reflect reality with an override should fix that specific instance and is probably not hurting for clarity anyhow. In the meantime, I hopefully figure out what is the meaningful difference between wheezy and jessie score keeping here. I remember a few changes, but they should actually help in these cases rather than making it fail spectacularly… (Remove an essential pkg? Seriously, bro?) Best regards David Kalnischkies
