[Clarification for future bug archaeologists] Invalid – as per comment from juliank (hint: maintainer). There was no fix released to address this report because a bug was never identified.
Assuming use of the correct, documented commands: # apt-get remove PKG # apt-get autoremove not enough information is presented about the packages involved to determine whether a bug is present. The maintainer does not think so. It is well known that installing a package may bring in more dependencies than can be automatically removed later. Some of the dependencies may satisfy Suggests or Recommends of another package, or an or-group dependency (“Depends: libfoo | libbar”). In any of those cases, apt can not auto-remove a package simply because the package which directly caused it's installation is no longer installed. [Comments for the submitter] Sworddragon, with respect to your diligence in filing reports and to maintaining your previous reports (many submitters do not :-), please kindly note these three points for the future: Do not confirm your own reports. If the maintainer/bug supervisor/etc. has marked it invalid and you strongly disagree, then mark it new. Do so even if it was previously confirmed (in this case the original confirmation was incorrect since the report requires more information). If you no longer experience an issue but can not identify where it was fixed (i.e. the particular changelog entry) then mark it as either incomplete or invalid. In this case it is not clear that there ever was a bug so there can hardly have been a fix released for it. Above all, absolutely do continue to file reports and keep them updated. This is greatly appreciated.
