Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
Hardy, apt 0.7.9ubuntu17. 'apt-get install onepackage' -> works rightaway. 'apt-get install onepackage-which-brings-with-it-some-dependencies' -> apt-get notifies you that e.g. 2 packages will be installed, continue? yes/no 'apt-get remove onepackage-which-removes-some-that-depend-on-it' -> apt- get notifies you that e.g. 2 packages will be removed, continue? yes/no BUT 'apt-get remove onepackage' -> doesn't work rightaway, but still asks for confirmation. (i.e. notifies you that 1 package will be removed, continue? yes/no) I think this is inconsistent, and inconvenient. After all, I have *explicitly* issued the command to "apt-get remove thisonepackage". If the command does not affect any other package, no further confirmation should be necessary in the last case (just like it isn't necessary in the first case, when installing a single package). ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- apt-get install and remove should be consistent (w.r.t. asking confirmation) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
