Re: Bug#32888: apt removes base without asking too much
My unsolicited opinion:
1. Bug #32888 is a bug about removing the base package. It should
probably be reassigned to whatever package is the functional replacement
for base, i.e. the one that causes apt to try to remove base.
2. The complaint that apt defaults to "--force-whatever" is:
a) probably *not* a bug -- in most cases, with correctly designed
packages (and correctly designed replacements for obsolete packages),
it is correct and necessary behavior, as far as I can see.
b) a new bug, if it is a bug. This is not the bug reported in #32888,
which is about the behavior of the base package, not apt. So it needs
a new bug report.
