Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Assuming packages A and B, with A depending on B. A has a failing prerm
script.
Expected behavior:
- A fails to be removed, A and B stay unchanged
Actual behavior:
- A fails to be removed
- B is still removed
This might crash their system (e.g. if A is systemd and B is
libsystemd0).
[Test case]
See Impact. An automated version of the test case (test-apt-get-remove-depends)
is included and run on autopkgtest.
[Regression potential]
We now abort earlier in removal failures, that might be harder to recover from
or not, nobody really knows.
