Public bug reported: Test Case ========= 1. From Ubuntu 18.04, uninstall gnome-tweaks and gnome-tweak-tool if installed.
2. Download gnome-tweak-tool from 17.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak- tool/3.26.2.1-1ubuntu1/+build/13538022 3. sudo apt install ./gnome-tweak-tool_3.26.2.1-1ubuntu1_all.deb 4. sudo apt dist-upgrade (gnome-tweak-tool is now a transitional package that depends on gnome- tweaks). 5. sudo apt remove gnome-tweak-tool 6. sudo apt dist-upgrade The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: gnome-tweaks Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it. Excerpts from apt show ====================== $ apt show gnome-tweaks Package: gnome-tweaks Version: 3.27.4-1ubuntu1 Priority: optional Breaks: gnome-tweak-tool (<= 3.27.4) Replaces: gnome-tweak-tool (<= 3.27.4) APT-Manual-Installed: no $ apt show gnome-tweak-tool Package: gnome-tweak-tool Version: 3.27.4-1ubuntu1 Priority: optional Section: universe/gnome Source: gnome-tweaks Depends: gnome-tweaks Description: adjust advanced settings for GNOME - transitional package GNOME Tweak Tool allows the adjustment of several advanced GNOME options that can't be configured in gnome-control-center. . This package is here to ensure smooth upgrades. It can be removed when you see fit. What's Wrong ============ I think that "APT-Manual-Installed: no" should not be set for gnome-tweaks. Hmm, gnome-tweak-tool should be universe/oldlibs now. (Debian also currently has it in 'gnome' instead of oldlibs.) ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1747033 Title: transitional package dependency shouldn't be auto-removable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1747033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
