Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.3-3
Severity: normal
For some reasons, I often hold some packages before upgrades. Then
aptitude detects dependencies and suggests to hold them as well but
finally wants to remove recommended packages, which I don't want to !
This happens for example with grub-pc:
- I hold grub-pc
- aptitude warns me about grub-common and suggests to hold it as well
(I accept)
- then, proceeding ('g'), aptitude wants to remove os-prober which is
recommended by grub-common and marked as automatically installed
Note that os-prober is not upgradable in this case.
Cheers,
Denis
