Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

i'm afraid marking several packages as auto_installed is currently broken
in wheezy. I found out an easy way to reproduce may situation:

% debootstrap wheezy wheezy http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
% chroot wheezy
% apt-get install libtiff4     # installs libjbig0 libjpeg8 as extra packages
% apt-get remove libtiff4
% apt-get autoremove libtiff4  # doesn't remove libjpeg8 and libjbig0

% aptitude why libjbig0
i   vim-common         Recommends vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-athena | vim-nox | vim-tiny                                 
p   vim-gtk            Depends    libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)                
p   libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Depends    libtiff4 (>= 3.9.5-2)                         
p   libtiff4           Depends    libjbig0

% aptitude why libjpeg8
i   vim-common         Recommends vim | vim-gnome | vim-gtk | vim-athena | vim-nox | vim-tiny                                 
p   vim-gtk            Depends    libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)                
p   libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 Depends    libjpeg8 (>= 8c)                              

I believe the problem is, that the packages are not tagged as 'Automatically
installed':

% aptitude show libjbig0
Package: libjbig0                        
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Multi-Arch: same
Version: 2.0-2+deb7u1
Priority: extra
Section: libs
Maintainer: Michael van der Kolff <mvanderkolff@gmail.com>
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 98.3 k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5)
PreDepends: multiarch-support
Description: JBIGkit libraries
 
Homepage: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/


however i can remove both packages by

% apt-get remove libjbig0 libjpeg8

and no further dependencies are removed.

I expect that apt-get autoremove removes those both libraries.

If I do the same, with another package, eg. vim-nox auto-removal of the installed
dependencies works.

It works as designed as libtiff4 is in section oldlibs and this triggers
a special behavior marking all its dependencies on install as manually
installed.

On the upside, this will change then the current debian/experimental git
code hits the archive, see the relevant commits:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=7c2cc4a7bc999c8e07fba607354bfaa3b09118f9
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=5f4495e342e94a75b17ceed2fa05d689f050df7b


So, as this is by design (even if you and others might not like the
design) in this version, this isn't a bug and hence closing.


Best regards
