Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get


Its some kind of design bug. After doing:

apt-get install gnome
apt-get install wicd

my whole gnome desktop is marked for autoremove. this is because
gnome is removed, because gnome-network-manager conflicts with wicd.

The correct thing would be, not to mark packages for autoremove if this condition 
is the result of a conflict.

Which is what happens nowadays as we have a special handling for
metapackages. Hence closing as fixed.
