** Description changed: [Impact] Assuming packages A and B, with A depending on B. A has a failing prerm script. Expected behavior: - A fails to be removed, A and B stay unchanged Actual behavior: - A fails to be removed - B is still removed + This might crash their system (e.g. if A is systemd and B is + libsystemd0). + [Test case] - TBD + See Impact. An automated version of the test case (test-apt-get-remove-depends) is included and run on autopkgtest. [Regression potential] We now abort earlier in removal failures, that might be harder to recover from or not, nobody really knows.
