Package: synaptic Version: 0.70~pre1+b1 Severity: normal Hi, since a recent version upgrade (around the time the "quick search" feature was added, which btw should REALLY be renamed to "filter", but anyway) synaptic will unset the "auto installed" flag for any package which gets upgraded.
I've marked this as grave because this is data loss, and it's also definitely a regression. It makes it very inconvenient to try to keep your package database as clean as possible, and impossible unless you take backups of it. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg4.10] 0.8.0 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-inst1 0.8.0 APT utility programs ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.12-1 default fallback theme for FreeDes ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libept1 1.0.3+b1 High-level library for managing De ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1+b1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.24.3-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxapian22 1.2.3-2 Search engine library ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii apt-xapian-index 0.38 maintenance tools for a Xapian ind ii gksu 2.0.2-3 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-2 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii rarian-compat 0.8.1-5 Documentation meta-data library (c ii software-properties-gtk 0.60.debian-1.1 manage the repositories that you i Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii dwww 1.11.3 Read all on-line documentation wit ii menu 2.1.43 generates programs menu for all me -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
