As mentioned in one of the other bugs you filed, this was caused by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-postgresql. I've now replaced this with a smarter solution that only marks packages to be kept if there are still PostgreSQL clusters of that version. That was overdue, thanks for prompting that change. > I contacted a Postgres package maintainer and he believes APT is to blame > here. Re: Mario E.

Fwiw, you filed at least three bugs in three different places (of which at least one location -- salsa support -- was totally wrong) and made a huge fuss about it. Claiming "the dev seems to be ignoring it" after only three days wasn't helping your case either. I found that bugs that come with so much drama are much better handled by ignoring them for some time. Christoph
