This changed in revision 2085.1.1 of apt. <rant>Fer crying out loud, if I had the time I'd just ditch their handling of the auto flag and do it myself</rant>. What's especially frustrating is that they tried to accommodate aptitude, but they didn't understand what they were doing. Guess it's really my fault for not keeping up on this stuff.
I guess that as a workaround (ew) I can save the auto flag before I call MarkInstall and restore it afterwards. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
