Bug#611568: apt-mark depends on python-apt
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10
Severity: minor
apt-mark requires python-apt to run. But python-apt is only suggested.
I think apt should depend on python-apt because I don't see the point in
including a non-working tool in a package.
If a working apt-mark is only suggested, then, maybe apt-mark should
belong to another package that apt would suggest.
Regards,
Celelibi
