i just used eukleides and xeukleides as an example - because they were packages I knew I could easily add and remove, this behaviour can be seen with any automatically installed packages: Assuming package foo is automatically installed, once all packages depending on foo have been removed, trying to run aptitude unmarkauto foo, causes foo to be removed instead of being unmarked and kept on the system as I would expect. Interestingly using aptitude to remove the last package depending on foo (where foo is marked autoinstalled) causes foo to be removed too, while apt-get does not remove foo but simply warns that nothing depends on foo and that it can be removed.
If you're looking for another test case (assuming neither pi nor libcln5 is installed already), do aptitude install pi apt-get remove pi aptitude unmarkauto libcln5 although any other autoinstalled package will do just as well. Incidentally, i originally noticed this behaviour under Gutsy, but the same happens in Hardy... -- [gutsy] (un)markauto tries to remove packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
