Package: apt Version: 1.7.0~alpha2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
If more than one package is specified in the package list passed to `apt-get install` (and potentially others) the implicit dependencies of one of these packages shouldn't be installed if it's matched by a package specified in the list. Example: `maven` depends on `default-jre-headless`, however specifying `apt-get install maven openjdk-8-jdk` causes OpenJDK 11 JRE to be installed for `default-jre-headless` next to OpenJDK 8 JDK which already fulfills the dependency. It's much more intuitive to select the explicitly specified fulfillment of the dependencies from the package list passed on the command line. I'm aware of workaround like specifying `--assume-no` and not seeking for support. My intention is to improve the intuitive use of the software. This has been discussed at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1058271/why-is-openjdk-11-jre-installed-together-with-maven-when-openjdk-8-jdk-is-specif. I'm reporting this from inside the Docker image `debian:experimental` which shouldn't matter for the issue. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-signed-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-backports-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-tools"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-cloud-tools"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::AutoRemove ""; APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke:: "rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*.deb /var/cache/apt/*.bin || true"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
