Like I wrote in the initial comment, I cannot come up with a case where it would be useful for "install" to actually "remove" some (often, apparently unrelated) packages. For "upgrade", I can somehow see how at least sometimes this would not be surprising (if you have an auto-installed package whi

Sorry, dunno why I originally reported this against "apt" instead of "aptitude", could you please move the "Confirmed" tag and remove (or somehow invalidate) the "apt" package? ** Also affects: aptitude (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tr

Actually, for completeness, merely installing those packages had no effect; the actual workaround for me was "aptitude install --without- recommends miscfiles openssl postfix resolvconf ssl-cert wamerican xli language-pack-en" (yeah, I let go of libjpeg-progs) -- aptitude: install --without-recom

Could you please try this again with: sudo aptitude install -vv --show-deps --without-recommends language- pack-en? And attach that output to this bug? You may have to mark those packages it wanted to remove as automatic, instead of explicit, to reproduce the behaviour. Thanks. ** Changed in:

I created a VMware image so I could repro this ... good thing I took notes while installing that machine (-: I believe a minimal repro scenario for this would be to set up a plain server install, then install anacron, which pulls in postfix and other useful packages, and then install language-pack

Is this a bug in aptitude or its manual page? I noticed aptitude -R upgrade also removes dependencies which were installed as Recommends: (or Suggests: ?). Useful feature, but should -R install/upgrade actually work this way? -- aptitude: install --without-recommends removes packages https://la

This is supposed to be fixed in Gutsy with latest aptitude: * Automatically enable Keep-Recommends when --without-recommends is passed on the command-line. As a practical matter, this means that --without-recommends no longer tries to remove a bunch of packages. (Closes: #143532) er
