[Aptitude-devel] Bug#670153: Subject: aptitude: `markauto` not applied on all given packages

[Paul Menzel]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.6-1+b1
Severity: important

Dear Debian folks,


I am sorry to file another report against Aptitude and hope I did not
overlook an already existing report for this issue.

Searching for the reason some packages were not upgraded I found out I
had some (no obsolete) dependencies manually installed.

Now I ran

    sudo aptitude markauto at-spi python-pyatspi gnome-accessibility

and in the same operation `gnome-accessibility` was removed because
nothing depends on it anymore.

The problem now is that `python-pyatspi` was *not* marked as
automatically installed.

        $ aptitude search at-spi python-pyatspi
        i A at-spi                                                        - Unterstützungs-Technologie - Service-Provider-Schnittstelle             
        […]
        i   python-pyatspi                                                - AT-SPI: Schnittstelle zu Unterstützungstechniken - Python-Anbindungen   
        […]

Running

        $ sudo aptitude markauto python-pyatspi

again worked without problems.

        $ LANG=C aptitude show python-pyatspi
        Package: python-pyatspi                  
        State: installed
