Bug#547627: /usr/bin/apt-get: apt-get does clearly the wrong thing
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Its some kind of design bug. After doing:
apt-get install gnome
apt-get install wicd
my whole gnome desktop is marked for autoremove. this is because
gnome is removed, because gnome-network-manager conflicts with wicd.
The correct thing would be, not to mark packages for autoremove if this condition
is the result of a conflict.
