I doubt this. ifupdown has no entry in apt.extended_states.1.gz, and netbase was upgraded from 5.3 during the same upgrade process. There was no upgrade process before this which might have been continued. Apart, auto-removal I think is specifically identified and should also not happen on "upgrade" cf. manpage, no? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "arthur slapped his arms about himself to try and get his circulation a little more enthusiastic about its job." -- hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
