Maybe apt didn't, but apt-get certainly did; I tested this by downloading several versions of apt and libapt-pkg6.0 from snapshot.debian.org and installing them on a live system. The difference I see in apt-get is between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3. > I tried with 2.3.2 and 1.3 (= the first release with CMake buildsystem) > and both exhibit the behaviour you describe as an unintended change… > (attached is a testcase akin to what Julian described were in both > blocks the second apt-mark showmanual call fails as foo is now manual) That test uses apt instead of apt-get, though. I never use apt myself, so I didn't even think of finding out what it does.
