This isn't useful as it debugs the autoremover, not the solver. You'll want to pass -o Debug::APT::Solver=3 (or 2,1). Particularly have a look at the line Install:<name> for packages you don't want installed, it includes an implication graph - or path through it - that lead to the package being installed. To collect a solver dump please run $ apt -o Dir::Log::Solver=$PWD/full-upgrade.edsp full-upgrade -s --solver internal or similar. The --solver internal is needed at this point it seems, I need to debug it - it's not relevant because the solver dump is the input to the solver, not the output :) -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
