Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.0.1-1 Severity: normal On my system, I have mawk and original-awk installed, whereas gawk is not. The only package that depends on any awk whatsoever is base-files, which has a pre-dependency. This pre-dependency is satisfied by both mawk and original-awk. However, aptitude seems to want to install gawk to satisfy this dependency and insists on trying to do so every time I mark packages for upgrade.
Obviously, since the sole dependency (including recommends and suggests)
is satisfied, there is no reason for aptitude to attempt to install
gawk. This is irksome because I really do not want gawk installed.
I think aptitude should not try to install gawk if the dependency is
already satisfied (and will remain so).
