Hi Jörg, 2016-03-02 11:03 Jörg-Volker Peetz:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer Team, after upgrading to gnupg2 (from gnupg) due to upgrading enigmail, the command "aptitude unmarkauto gnupg2" does not work according to the output of aptitude -F '%M %p' search gnupg2 and apt-mark showmanual gnupg2 After commanding apt-mark manual gnupg2 only "apt-mark" shows that package gnupg2 is now marked as "manually installed".
Seems to work fine around here: # aptitude -F '%M %p' search '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' A gnupg2 # aptitude markauto '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 92 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. # aptitude -F '%M %p' search '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' A gnupg2 # aptitude unmarkauto '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 92 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. # aptitude -F '%M %p' search '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' gnupg2 # aptitude markauto '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 92 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. # aptitude -F '%M %p' search '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' A gnupg2 # aptitude unmarkauto '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 92 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. # aptitude -F '%M %p' search '~n^gnupg2$~ramd64' gnupg2 If by not working you mean that it doesn't show messages like apt-mark: # apt-mark manual gnupg2 gnupg2 was already set to manually installed. this is because aptitude is more quiet by default, and you need to pass "-v" or similar to get it to tell you something.
In /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates also the "State" of gnupg2 does not change.
This is out-sourced to apt, in the file: /var/lib/apt/extended_states Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
