Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
Hardy, apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.
'apt-get install onepackage' -> works rightaway.
'apt-get install onepackage-which-brings-with-it-some-dependencies' -> apt-get
notifies you that e.g. 2 packages will be installed, continue? yes/no
'apt-get remove onepackage-which-removes-some-that-depend-on-it' -> apt-
get notifies you that e.g. 2 packages will be removed, continue? yes/no
BUT
'apt-get remove onepackage' -> doesn't work rightaway, but still asks
for confirmation. (i.e. notifies you that 1 package will be removed,
continue? yes/no)
I think this is inconsistent, and inconvenient. After all, I have
*explicitly* issued the command to "apt-get remove thisonepackage". If
the command does not affect any other package, no further confirmation
should be necessary in the last case (just like it isn't necessary in
the first case, when installing a single package).
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
