Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.8.2-1 Severity: normal Hi
If I deinstall a package aptitude will correctly deinstall all dependencies which are markauto and not required by any other package. However, if I explicitly request that such a dependent package remains installed aptitude will still deinstall it. Example: Take a squeeze or sid base installation and install rsstail which requires openssl (among others) aptitude install rsstail Sometime later decide that you don't need rsstail anymore but that you want to keep openssl aptitude install rsstail- openssl+ Since openssl was installed as a dependency it is markauto as far as aptitudes package state database is concerned. The explicit request to install openssl (with the + action) is still ignored. If I execute the same command (the latter of the two) a second time, openssl will be installed again.
