Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: normal
The autoclean option should not delete packages that are installed
correctly, but have a never version available.
Example: local version a2ps is 4.12 and in the debian ftp 4.12a, then the
4.12 will be deleted. In some cases the version in unstable is broken and
then the none-broken local versions are deleted and you doesn't have a
version to install anymore.
The files should thus only be deleted if a newer version is also local
available. Maybe this could be added under a switch.
