Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-6 Severity: important
Aptitude dist-upgrade reinstalls packages removed with dpkg -r or other package tools. Although perhaps intended, this behaviour seriously hinders the usability of the package. If I remove a package -- with any tool -- I most certainly do _not_ want it back. If aptitude implements "reinstall currently broken packages at later time" functionality, it should do it differently, in cooperation with other programs. Either add such an option option to dpkg itself, or have a database of packages marked as such, not its own database of "packages once installed" or something, as it seems to do now. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.1 0.6.41 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-7 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c2 1.2.5-5 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
