Title:
apt is not essential anymore
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with apt 1.0.2ubuntu2 and apt has no
Essential flag anymore:
root@ubuntu:~# apt-cache show apt | grep Essential
Build-Essential: yes
But interestingly if I'm trying to remove apt it claims that it is still
essential:
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get remove apt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apt
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!

You are about to do something potentially harmful.

Abort.
I don't know what Build-Essential will do here (maybe some sort of
replacement?) but it is not known to the manual page of deb-src-control and the
debian documentation:
