The problem is that when trying out packages and then running debfoster to clean up the system, I have to make lots of decisions and I remove almost all the packages. As a result, I have a very long list of package removals to confirm, and it is easy to overlook an important package in the list, especially since debfoster has always worked reliably for me since a very long time ago. > If the bug isn't trivial to fix in debfoster, I'd suggest to > downgrade it to important so that it doesn't force the removeal of > debfoster from testing. I certainly don't want debfoster removed from testing, it is a very handy tool - the built-in keeping funcionality of aptitude is absolutely unsuitable for the "trying out packages" usecase, so I don't have any objection against downgrading it to important.

Bug#448501: Removes package without asking
Package: debfoster Version: 2.6-2 Severity: serious --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi, When running debfoster, it asks me wether I want to keep python-celementtree (that only keeps python-elementtree). If I answer Y, it will also remove bzr and bzrtools, although I haven't been asked about them. Even explicitly marking bzr and bzrtools as "to be kept" by adding them to /var/lib/debfoster/keepers does not help. Excerpt: [...] python-celementtree is keeping the following 1 packages installed: python-elementtree Keep python-celementtree? [Ynpsiuqx?], [H]elp: P [...] Removing package: python-celementtree Removing package: python-elementtree Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: bzr* bzrtools* python-celementtree* python-elementtree* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 75 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 11.6MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
