That's not true right? I think we agree the proper solution being to upgrade mariadb from 10.0 to 10.1. Only removing packages is (I think always) worse then a no-op. Can't it detect mariadb-server-10.1 being a proper upgrade of mariadb-server-10.0 and hence scoring this as neutral or positive? > I'm not sure, but maybe we are not weighting removals of automatically > installed packages lower than removals of manually installed packages? Ideally the removal should be irrelevant here, if you can detect it as an upgrade. -- Olaf
