Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.4-1
On the command line, I can no longer remove a package but keep one of the
auto-installed dependencies. I could swear that I used to be able to do this:
aptitude purge mpd libshout3+
But now I get this:
root /home/telemachus # aptitude remove mpd libshout3+

Abort.
I've tried with a few other packages, and it doesn't work as well. It works
fine in the tui version, so maybe I'm crazy and you could never do this via the
command line.
If you can't do this, please file this as a wishlist bug. :)

Thanks.
