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

Thank you for your bug report, but you do not need apt-mark, use apt-get
{un,}markauto and apt-cache showauto instead. apt-mark is deprecated and
may be removed in future versions of apt. We won't split it out, and we
won't introduce cyclic dependencies for a deprecated script.
