Bug#941254: popularity-contest is installed even if user answers No
Package: popularity-contest
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
popularity-contest is installed even if user answers No to whether they want it installed or not. Having to install the package to answer the question is asinine and either the wording should be changed (to notify the user that it will be installed anyway whether they like it or not ( (then why ask in the first place???) )) or the methadology. Does it send a report of installed software before uninstalling?
