Bug#148002: apt-get remove should not install packages
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
I encountered that problem today: I have licq and licq-plugin-qt2 installed.
I want to remove licq. If I apt-get remove licq, apt wants to install
licq-ssl because it's the only way to keep licq-plugin-qt2.
"apt-get remove" should remove the packages which can't stay after the
removal of the packages which are asked to be removed. It shouldn't try
to keep them by installing new packages. I understand that it may want to
try an upgrade of the package to see if it can keep it but no more.
I'd expect the current behaviour with "apt-get remove licq licq-ssl+"
but not with just "apt-get remove licq".
Cheers,
