Agree, I guess we just leave it there since we don't have any hints what causes the mystery. Thanks a lot for your input and time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708803 Title: [Maver

Re: [Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

Thanks for the log info. The logs indicate that conky-all was installed on its own, without any package that depends on it. To me it remains a mystery why it was marked with auto. Unfortunately I do not see a path from here to tracking down the problem, as the issue cannot be reproduced. -- You r

Thanks for the nice cmd. The 12th was the installation day of Maverick. Nothing odd there. ** Attachment added: "conky-dpkg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/708803/+attachment/1875605/+files/conky-dpkg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubun

Re: [Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

My understanding is, that the automatically installed flag is set when the package comes in as a dependency and was not specified by the user directly. As the problem cannot be reproduced, maybe a trace can be found in the /var/log/dpkg* log files on your system. If the logs are still around, you

[Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

Thanks again for review. I'm also unable to reproduce it. I've killed conky, purge, reinstall, apt-mark showauto is now negative and description now says it isn't auto installed. $ aptitude show conky-all Package: conky-all State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 1.

[Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

Thanks for your reply! What happens when you remove the auto installed flag from conky-all with $ sudo apt-mark unmarkauto conky-all It should cure the problem and probably helps you along for now. I tried to reproduce your problem locally and I couldn't: $ sudo apt-get install conky-all $ sudo

[Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

Thanks for the review. conky-all wasn't marked as 'auto install', I manually marked and installed it as standalone app, then was surprised it would get removed if I wouldn't closely pay attention to what gets autoremoved. It wasn't brought_in_as_a_dependency from another app if this is the meanin

[Bug 708803] Re: [Maverick] autoremove removes package which is required

It seems to me that conky-all was brought in as a dependency and I believe it was marked as auto install. Now the depending package has been uninstalled, hence marking conky-all for auto removal. Can you check if conky-all is marked as auto, with $ apt-mark showauto | grep conky-all If this is t
