Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.8.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
when /var runs full during installation, apt still tries to write the list
of automatically installed packages, but does so in an unsafe way that
clears the list instead. As a result, all packages are then marked as
manually installed.
I'm not even sure the list needs to be rewritten after dpkg has run, but in
any case it is better to leave the list untouched if it cannot be written
rather than destroy it.
