Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3

When I try to uninstall a metapackage with all its dependencies, some
dependencies, if they provide virtual packages, will not be uninstalled.
Even if I have other packages, that provide these virtual packages.

For example. I install xfce4 metapackage. It depends on xfwm4, that provides
virtual package x-window-manager, xfce4-terminal, that provides virtual
package x-terminal-emulator, and some other stuff. When I uninstall xfce4
with command "aptitude uninstall xfce4", packages xfwm4 and xfce4-terminal
are not being unistalled though they are marked as installed automatically
and there is no other packages they depend on. And though I have other
packages installed, that provide these metapackages: for example, metacity
and gnome-terminal.

I think, that uninstalling a metapackage should uninstall all its
dependencies.

I use 2.6.32-5-686 kernel, if it's important.
