Package: apt Version: 1.0.9.1 I installed jessie and a bunch of packages, then upgraded to sid. Now "apt-get dist-upgrade" wants to remove stellarium:

Need to get 20.8 MB of archives. After this operation, 9317 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] This makes no sense at all. apt-get *knows* that I wanted to install stellarium by itself, and apt-get *knows* that I didn't explicitly asked for all those libraries to be installed alone. This knowledge is in fact the base for the autoremove feature. But apparently apt-get does not use all the information it has in this case. Whenever possible, packages that I asked to install should have absolute priority (i.e. should be kept installed) over packages that I didn't explicitly asked to be installed. Way to reproduce: Install jessie, install stellarium, then upgrade to sid. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
