(run ./build to rebuild them) * Assuming you have a 64-bit system, run the following command but ***** DO NOT START THE INSTALL! ***** (if you have a 32-bit system, exchange i386 and amd64 everywhere) qapt-deb-installer testrd-python-any_1.0-1_i386.deb The testrd-python-any package has a single 'python:any' dependency which should already be satisfied given that the system already has 'python:amd64' installed. Still qapt-deb-installer displays the following Status line: Status: Requires the installation of 173 additional packages What this does not say is that it also wants to remove dozens of packages among which critical ones such as python, unity, ubuntu- desktop, gconf2, gnome-terminal, gksu, gdebi-core, gnome-packagekit, software-center, etc. The Details button will show a list of the impacted packages but that list is not sorted alphabetically which makes it hard to figure out if a given package is going to be removed. This issue can be reproduced with the python-gtk2 test packages. So to summarize: * The Status should warn about package removal. * The Details list should sort the package names alphabetically.
