Torsten, php5-common was purged in my case, because it was picked instead of
php5-mhash.
The repository layout and dependencies have probably changed since 10.04, but
the point is:
If package A gets removed (not purged), and you later want to purge it, the
purge action should not pick package B which provides A.
It is just like "apt-get remove A" should never remove B, in case A is not
installed.
** Summary changed:
- "apt-get purge" should not select another package (when the requested one in
not installed and provided by another one)
+ "apt-get purge" should not select another package (when the requested one is
not installed but provided by another one)
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => New
