Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: important
Installing a package with dependencies and removing it immediately will
not always remove all dependencies. This affects probably only few
packages. Examples are kdm and icewm.
An ``aptitude install icewm'' will install icewm-common, and ``aptitude
show icewm-common'' confirms automatic installation. Now an ``aptitude
remove icewm'' does not remove icewm-common and ``aptitude show
icewm-common'' claims this package to be installed manually. On another
testmachine a similar effect was observed related to kdm. That machine
was set up newly and affected packages (7) were: libgcrypt11,
libgnutls26, libgpg-error0, libldap-2.4-2, libpng12-0, libsasl2-2 and
libtasn1-3.
Since icewm enforced the installation of icewm-common there is no other
package installed which could depend on icewm-common. ``aptitude remove
icewm-common'' confirms this.
This effect seems to be related to bug #432017. It is not clear whether
the problem is related to aptitude directly or to the packages which are
not removed correctly. There was no upgrade involved, the system is a
Squeeze set up via debootstrap, and aptitude was not used in the
interactive mode but only with command line parameters.
