Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

I'm using apt 0.8.10ubuntu1 and wanted to remove install-info. apt has
said me that the essential package grep depends on install-info and I
shouldn't remove it. An analyse showed me that grep depends on dpkg or
install-info. I had installed both packages and forced the removing of
install-info. Only install-info was removed and grep is still working as
exprected.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
