Bug#727082: apt: dist-upgrade says "no longer required" and "will be installed" for the same packages



Package: apt
Version: 0.9.12.1
Severity: normal

Using debian testing/unstable, and dist-upgrade says this:


$ LANG=C apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and
are no longer required:
  gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 python3-enchant python3-gtkspellcheck
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 python3-enchant python3-gtkspellcheck
The following packages have been kept back:
  gaupol
The following packages will be upgraded:
  audacity audacity-data easytag gimp-gmic gmic gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
libsoundtouch0 libwayland-client0 libwayland-server0 php5-json translate-
toolkit
11 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 12.2 MB of archives.
After this operation, 5690 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

$ LANG=C dpkg-query -l gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 python3-enchant
python3-gtkspellcheck
dpkg-query: no packages found matching gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0
dpkg-query: no packages found matching python3-enchant
dpkg-query: no packages found matching python3-gtkspellcheck


Attached is the dpkg.log for the last 3 weeks.

I have created a tar of /var/lib/{apt,dpkg}/{...} and hope that this is
sufficient to answer any questions.
I just did the dist-upgrade, and afterwards I get

$ LANG=C apt-get dist-upgrade

Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and
are no longer required:
