Bug#856496: libqt4-test: Package not marked as automatic when it's a dependency of libqt4-core
Package: libqt4-test
Version: 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installing libqt4-core installs libqt4-test as a dependency.
However, libqt4-test is marked as 'manually' installed, which was not the case.
After removing libqt4-core, libqt4-test is not marked as autoremovable.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I had to manually remove the package.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected libqt4-test to be marked as automatically installed, not manual, and
hence be automatically cleaned by "apt-get autoremove".
The package is clearly marked as manual:
$ apt-mark showmanual | grep libqt4-test
libqt4-test
Regards,
Fran
