Package: libaudio2
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-06
Severity: normal

At the moment, apt-get cannot figure out that it should remove nas-lib
in favor of libaudio2.  Could libaudio2 therefore Replace nas-lib, so
that apt-get knows what to do?

Version: 0.7.0

Why have apt to remove installed package in favor of non-installed?
Suppose you have package foo and package bar. foo conflicts with bar, and bar conflicts
with foo. You have foo package installed. New version of bar available. And have apt to
remove foo in favor of bar?

And with introducing of "automatically installed" packages concept, apt will try to remove
all automatically installed packages if they are not used anymore. If they are installed
manually, apt won't try to install it, except conflicts with later manual install of other
packages. So marking bug as fixed in apt 0.7.0 when automatic dependencies removal was
introduced.

Reopen bug if you object.
