Package: apt Version: 0.7.9 Severity: grave --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Today, in sid, I marked for upgrade xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4-3) to 2: 1.4.1~git20071119-1. Synaptic asked to remove xserver-xorg-input-all (1: 7.3+6) and xserver-xorg-input-wacom (0.7.7.11-1). Before committing changes, I marked the two last for reinstall (yes, this is a dirty trick, but sometimes works in sid). So I clicked on "apply", SYNAPTIC DID NOT WARN THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING TO BE REMOVED, but, actually, xserver-xorg-core was upgraded, and xserver-xorg-input-all and xserver-xorg-input-wacom were removed. Still, in synaptic history I see: Upgraded the following packages: xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4-3) to 2:1.4.1~git20071119-1 Reinstalled the following packages: xserver-xorg-input-all (1:7.3+6) xserver-xorg-input-wacom (0.7.7.11-1) I think this is grave because you may remove important packages, and therefore break the system, WITHOUT ANY SINGLE WARNING. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 990 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org 500 stable dl.google.com 500 experimental www.debian-multimedia.org 1 experimental ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================================-+-============= libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1) | 2.6.1-6 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1) | 1:4.2.2-3 libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1) | 4.2.2-3 debian-archive-keyring | 2007.07.31
