Title:
Removals keep removing dependencies if removal of a package fails
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in apt package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[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]
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.
