I'm not sure if it is acceptable to simply drop a conditional dependency which is not fulfilled on the current system from debfoster's view. If it is, the fix is pretty simple. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#448501: Removes package without asking
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: Can you post your keepers file and /var/lib/dpkg/status? (You can send it to me directly if you don't want to publish it.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To reproduce the bug just install bzr, that should pull python-celementree, and then run debfoster, it'll ask to remove python-celementree, if you accept it will also remove apt. You can do that easily in a freshly deboostraped chroot. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOOhttp://www.madism.org pgpG8Qqgh64zF.pgp Description: PGP signature

After unpacking 11.6MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? I experience this as well. bzr depends python ( 2.5) | python-celementree as python-celementtree is builtin in python 2.5. I suppose it get confused because python is installed and it believes in the first pass that python-celementtree doesn't needs to be here (because it probably doesn't grok that ( 2.5) isn't fulfilled), though, when apt is called later to remove python-celementree, it wants to remove bzr that needs it. So my guess is that the dependency checker of debfoster is a tad simplistic Note that I'd argue that it's not a serious but an important bug: in its default setup, debfoster ask you if you confirm, so you lose data IFF you are dumb enough to hit 'Yes'. And there are trivial workarounds that let debfoster work properly on the rest of the archive. 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. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O[EMAIL PROTECTED] OOOhttp://www.madism.org pgpZMCOex1NpL.pgp Description: PGP signature

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.
