Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-6 Severity: normal
I've just installed Sarge. When the installer installs packages, it use meta-packages. For example, to install kde network packages (like kget, krdc and others), it use the package kdenetwork. Good things. But now, I want to remove kget, so it will automatically remove kdenetwork, but it thinks others kdenetwork packages are unused (since there were installed automatically via kdenetwork), and it wants to remove them. Here is the output of aptitude when I try to remove kget after installing kdenetwork (this appears on Sid too) : The following packages are unused and will be REMOVED: kdenetwork-kfile-plugins kpf krfb ksirc ktalkd lisa talk ytalk The following packages will be automatically REMOVED: kdenetwork The following packages will be REMOVED: kdenetwork kget 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 0 not upgraded. You can notice there are some kdenetwork packages missing. This is because these packages have been early installed by hand (I run this test on my Sid). I would like to see this behaviour disappear if it's possible, since I think it's not a good behaviour and it is a bit annoying. Thanks for your work.
