Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Severity: normal

Calling apt-get --simulate install [...] changes the file
/var/lib/apt/extended_states . I tried this on several machines (amd64,
i386), in "normal" conditions and inside chroots.

This can be bad if someone install package A, which causes package B to
be autoinstalled and then simulates installing package B. In this case,
extended_states shows package B to not have been autoinstalled, which
would result in package B not being affected by an autoremove command.

Version: 0.7.22

The problem should be fixed with with apt 0.7.22
as it no longer writes to the state-file in simulation mode.
A few quicktests also suggests that it no longer happens.

The changelog says:

apt (0.7.22) unstable; urgency=low
[…]
[ David Kalnischkies ]
[…]
* do not write state file in simulate mode (closes: #433007)
[…]
 -- Michael Vogt <mvo@debian.org>  Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:16:22 +0200

I am therefore closing this bug now as fixed,
but please feel free to reopen it if it still occurs.


Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
