Package: apt Version: 0.9.12 Severity: normal If a package is pinned to prevent an upgrade, but the candidate version has new dependencies, apt will install those even though the depending package isn't being upgraded. For example,
Package: foo Version: 1 Depends: bar Pin-Priority: 1000 Package: foo Version: 2 Depends: bar, baz “apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs” will hold back foo but will both install baz and list it as a package that can be autoremoved. There may be other situations where this also occurs, since the MarkInstall of the new depended packages happens before the resolver determines how to handle the depending package. This is just the first situation I encountered. -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2012.4 ii gnupg 1.4.15-1 ii libapt-pkg4.12 0.9.12 ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.1-10 ii libstdc++6 4.8.1-10 apt recommends no packages.
