Can you provide more detail about which apt-get commands are doing this? The intended behaviour for apt-get is that any package explicitly mentioned on the command line will be marked manual, even if it was previously installed and marked auto. If my memory serves me correctly, this is to avoid surprises when # apt-get install A is used to upgrade A, which is previously auto-installed, and could indirectly result in that package being removed due to dependencies for example. If that describes your scenario then it is not a bug in apt-get. This behaviour may eventually be adopted in aptitude as well due to the high number of bugs/complaints about the problem resolver disregarding the list of packages on the command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
