Bug#181531: apt: "apt-get remove" starts configuring things
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Just for kicks I typed
# apt-get remove
and before I knew it I began configuring some package.
True this is logical, but are you sure that's what you want to happen.
and of course it didn't ask me if i wanted to proceed. yes, I know,
that is a feature. ok next time i will use -s
# apt-get -s remove
