Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.4-1
Severity: normal
Aptitude does not remove automatically installed packages with "aptitude
remove". Files are marked as automatically installed, though. It tried
exactly the same thing in Etch and Sid:
$ sudo aptitude install emacs
Metapackage "emacs" and all the depencencies get installed.
$ sudo aptitude purge emacs
In Etch, all the automatically installed dependencies are removed; in
Sid, only the metapackage "emacs" is removed.
Here's the complete terminal log from my session in Sid:
