Bug#797067: apt: please restore upgrade auto-autoremove
Package: apt
Version: 1.6~alpha5
Severity: wishlist
% grep AutomaticRemove /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "true";
% sudo apt upgrade
[...]
The following packages were automatically installed and are
no longer required:
[...]
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
May apt upgrade go back to honoring APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "true"; ?
This used to work, but was broken, apparently deliberately, in #855891.
Having to ^C upgrade and rerun with --autoremove is... "suboptimal" :).
