Just uploaded Apport Report about system specs, in short, bug still remains in Karmic via CLI. Not sure which key you meant here,
> Attaching a debdiff that itroduces the APT::Get::HideAutoRemove key. manpage of apt-get doesn't mention it. Did a test cmd via CLI: sudo apt-get -s purge gnome-utils Output: Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig ## read package list Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut ## create dependency tree Lese Status-Informationen ein... Fertig ## read status information ## However, below are the essential (irritating) lines. ## Following packages were installed automatically and no longer needed. Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. ## I know for what reason I want to keep them and certainly don't want to remove them. ## But it may confuse a user to issue the cmd 'autoremove'. Die folgenden Pakete wurden automatisch installiert und werden nicht länger benötigt: libglademm-2.4-1c2a pavucontrol linux-headers-2.6.31-14 linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic Verwenden Sie »apt-get autoremove«, um sie zu entfernen. Die folgenden Pakete werden ENTFERNT: gnome-utils* ubuntu-desktop* 0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 2 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert. Purg ubuntu-desktop [1.175] Purg gnome-utils [2.28.1-0ubuntu1] Thanks for your attention. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New -- 'apt-get install somepackage' tells me I have packages to autoremove. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69148 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
