[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1082745: aptitude: information mismatch for package removal

[Vincent Lefevre]

Control: retitle -1 aptitude: removes a kernel package not requested to be removed
Control: severity -1 grave

Wow! This is much worse than expected! When I typed 'g' to remove the
3 packages, aptitude also removed the linux-image-6.10.7-amd64 kernel
package, which was *not* in the list of packages to be removed.
