Bug#594689: Still broken?
Hello
After running into the issue with testing (apt 0.8.0), namely having
installed some ~100 MB of KDE library packages through a temporary
install of kdm, that I expected to be removed after I removed kdm
again, I found this report, so I did:
- try the suggestion with apt.conf (APT::NeverRemove { "dpkg"; };),
but this didn't seem to have any effect
- upgrade apt to 0.8.5 from unstable (apt-get install apt/unstable,
this being the only package I'm using from unstable now); this didn't
remove the kde libs either, but at least it removed some packages
added through a *fresh* temporary install of a package:
t3:~# apt-get install konqueror

So, it *did* remove packages, YET: it didn't remove kdebase-bin.

And it still hasn't removed any of the other packages that were
installed by "apt-get install kdm; apt-get remove kdm" before (using
apt 0.8.0). Why?
Christian.
