[Bug 384314] Re: synaptic lists packages as auto removable when they shouldn't be

[hawkal]

Okay maybe it wasn't the same problem. They were put into "auto
removable" because they were associated with the meta package they were
installed with so I just did a complete removal of each application then
reinstalled them individually and now none are listed as "auto
removable".

Title:
  synaptic lists packages as auto removable when they shouldn't be

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Synaptic sometimes lists packages as auto removable when they
  shouldn't be.

  Steps to reproduce:
  0) Make sure you are viewing the Status sidebar in Synaptic
  1) Mark a package with dependent packages for removal (eg. synaptic).
  2) When prompted that you would have to remove dependant packages as well, press cancel.
  3) Select the "Installed (auto removable)" option in the Status sidebar.

  What should happen:
  None of those packages should be listed as auto removable.

  What actually happens:
  Some/all of those packages are listed as auto removable. If you select a different view and go back to "Installed (auto removable)", the packages will no longer be listed.

  Ubuntu Karmic, synaptic 0.62.5ubuntu3
