[Aptitude-devel] Bug#908761: aptitude refuse to remove itself

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-3
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

If I try to remove aptitude, an error message pops up saying "Cannot
remove aptitude within aptitude".

That is not true: If instead I mark aptitude as auto-installed I can
remove it just fine.

Please permit shooting oneself in the foot - it is actually useful in
some situations: Either drop that check, or change it to a warning (and
then extend it to also catch auto-removal).
