Thank you Gregory, marking Triaged, Medium. This should now be fixable and hopefully should be in the repos soon. I'll let the developers take it from here then, thank you. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Description changed: + + I can now confirm that the simple one line patch + previously mentioned, offered by David Kalnischkies + in Debian bug #433007 fixes this problem. + === + Binary package hint: apt I ran apt-get -s install on packages that had been Auto-Installed, and apt-get modified the Auto-Installed state (from 1 to 0). According to the man page, this should be a simulation and no system information should be changed. Here's a transcript of my attempt to first remove a package and then mark it's brothers as not-auto-installed.

I can now confirm that the simple one line patch previously mentioned, offered by David Kalnischkies in Debian bug #433007, fixes my complaint in all affected Ubuntu releases from jaunty back to feisty.

[Bug 154982] Re: extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used
Strange. The upstream bug report states that this was fixed in 0.7.15. Both Jaunty and the development release of Karmic both use version 0.7.20.2ubuntu6: * apt-pkg/packagemanager.cc, apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: - move the state file writting into the Go() implementation of dpkgpm (closes: #498799) It may be worth putting a note on the upstream bug that this doesn't appear fixed. -- extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 154982] Re: extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used
This is probably a duplicate of an open Debian bug, #433007. One gentleman posted a patch on 19 May 2009. Their test mechanism is different from mine, so I'll try out the patch on a jaunty install. -- extended_states is modified even if --dry-run is used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug is still present in all Ubuntu versions from feisty through jaunty, as well as Debian Lenny. Dapper's apt appears to be too old to support the extended_states file.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?
