Package: fdisk Version: 2.35.1-5 Severity: wishlist I’ve noticed that fdisk will now be autoremoved on many systems because the dependencies on it are gone from everywhere else.
While this is probably ok for new installations, existing systems might… find this not so much agreeable. I’d suggest running 'apt-mark manual fdisk' in the upgrade case in a maintainer script, but since the package database is locked during their execution I know this isn’t doable. Any better ideas? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages fdisk depends on: ii libc6 2.30-8 ii libfdisk1 2.35.1-5 ii libmount1 2.35.1-5 ii libncursesw6 6.2-1 ii libsmartcols1 2.35.1-5 ii libtinfo6 6.2-1 fdisk recommends no packages. fdisk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
