Public bug reported:
I recently needed to remove and reinstall
libpcsclite1_1.8.23-1_amd64.deb. I noticed that the removal of this
package would result in the removal of various network-relevant packages
(see below). I saw bug report #949912 which reported a similar thing in
2012 and marked it fixed. I understand that report dealt with the
support of multiarch, but the behaviour of apt in the case of removal of
libpcsclite1 seems undesirable to me. Here's the console output I got
when trying to remove libpcsclite1 (sorry for the German output):
sudo apt remove libpcsclite1

wpasupplicant
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 22 zu entfernen und 30 nicht aktualisiert.
Nach dieser Operation werden 126 MB Plattenplatz freigegeben.
Möchten Sie fortfahren? [J/n]
The crucial part is all those packages which apt wants to remove
("werden ENTFERNT"). I guess I could be doing a stupid thing trying to
remove the libpcsclite1, but it really seems like unwanted behaviour
since continuing this package removal as suggested by apt would result
in an offline computer.
Cheers,
Hans
