Package: apt Version: 2.1.10 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
the + and - suffixes are great, but some persons tend to purge packages by default whenever possible, instead of removing them, and thus a similar suffix for purge would be great to, to avoid a need to purge removed packages after a complex operation. I suggest -- (double minus). -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (no /etc/apt/preferences.d/* present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.8.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_CRAP, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=ru_UA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_UA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=ru_UA:ru Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debian-archive-keyring 2019.1 ii gpgv 2.2.20-1 ii libapt-pkg6.0 2.1.10 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.0-9 ii libgnutls30 3.7.0-5 ii libseccomp2 2.4.3-1+b1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.0-9 ii libsystemd0 246.6-2 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20200601 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.13-2 ii dpkg-dev 1.20.5 ii gnupg 2.2.20-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.20-1 ii powermgmt-base 1.36 ii synaptic 0.90+nmu1 -- no debconf information
