Bug#750977: apt: regex apt-get install unexpectedly tries to remove desktop
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.1ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
when trying to install a package with 'apt-get install' when I didn't
know the package name exactly, it suggested to remove my core desktop packages.
When I gave in the exact package name, it didn't show this behaviour:
me@laptop:/home/me/dat/Downloads >sudo apt-get install apache2.2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'apache2.2-bin' for regex 'apache2.2'
Note, selecting 'apache2.2-common' for regex 'apache2.2'
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libmkv0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
The following extra packages will be installed:
apache2-bin libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap
Suggested packages:
apache2-doc apache2-suexec-pristine apache2-suexec-custom
The following packages will be REMOVED: <============================!
gnome-user-share ubuntu-gnome-desktop <============================!
The following NEW packages will be installed:
apache2-bin apache2.2-bin libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap
