man page of apt-get tells: --mark-auto After successful installation, mark all freshly installed packages as automatically installed, which will cause each of the packages to be removed when no more manually installed packages depend on this package. This is equally to running apt-mark auto for all installed packages. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Mark-Auto.
That is not true, because --mark-auto might not mark the package as auto. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2100937 Title: apt install --mark-auto does not retain auto mark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2100937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
