Public bug reported:
When APT::Get::Show-Versions is in effect in /etc/apt/apt.conf, apt-get
is supposed to print the versions of the packages being [un]installed,
but for the packages to be autoremoved it prints the bogus list of
versions instead. The list seems to be a concatenation of all the
individual package versions.
Example transcript follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-get --purge --auto-remove remove openoffice.org.*
