Package: newsbeuter
Version: 2.9-8+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I recently observed that apt-get was notifying me that performing an
'apt-get autoremove' would de-install package 'newsboat' - which would
be quite undesirable for me.
What seems to have occurred is that package newsbeuter 'recommends' the
actively-maintained package newsboat, and so when after transitioning to the
newer package I removed the unmaintained package newsbeuter, apt flagged
the package newsboat for auto-removal.
Maybe change newsboat to a 'suggests'? Maybe just drop newsbeuter and
turn it into a transitional package for newsboat? Maybe change newsboat
to a 'suggests' along with an apt message that the upstream package is
not being maintained, but has been forked to newsboat?
