  • Bug#266959: aptitude: remove packages in proper order

    From Dan Jacobson@1:229/2 to All on Thu Aug 19 23:50:14 2004

    Package: aptitude
    Version: 0.2.15.2-1
    Severity: normal

    I seem to recall in apt-get, the packages are removed in proper order
    so the user sees no disturbing "dependency problems" messages. Nor is
    there a danger in the case of interrupt, that there will be a broken
    packages state, or whatever it's called.

    # aptitude purge gedit
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    gedit gedit-common
    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 328 not upgraded.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
    Writing extended state information... Done
    dpkg: gedit: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
    gedit-common depends on gedit.
    (Reading database ... 163431 files and directories currently installed.) Removing gedit ...
    Purging configuration files for gedit ...
    (Reading database ... 163401 files and directories currently installed.) Removing gedit-common ...

    By the way, the following lines have trailing blanks:

    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree
    Reading extended state information

    This wasn't my experience when using apt-get, and aptitude just calls
    on apt to order the installation. Reassigning appropriately.
