[Bug 1042412] Re: ubuntu softwaremanagement

Ok.

I am marking this as invalid on aptitude; you could reassign this to
apt, however they will likely suggest to use unmarkauto like I have.

As per previous comments, it is not really feasible to do this general
undo of package management.  Instead, the system keeps track of which
packages are requested by the admin (manually installed) and which are
needed to make those packages work (automatically installed).

One final note, is that if you do not want to mark the packages manual
(because you want them gone later) you can do a more specific command:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge abuse abuse-lib

and a later apt-get autoremove will still remove them.  But really, ask
yourself why you care that these other packages remain installed only
for now, given that you never asked for them to be installed directly.

Title:
  ubuntu softwaremanagement

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  when i install a program, there are libs and other stuff installed
  also. When i remove the program again, the libs and the other stuff
  stays on the hdd. This sucks, there is no way to reverse an
  installation.

  sudo apt-get --purge autoremove PAKET

  is the way i know, but sometimes it deletes other stuff, which was on
  the system before. Like the game "abuse", it want to remove 10
  packages, not only the 2 abuse and abuse-lib.

  Perhaps it is useful to create a protocol of installed files, when
  using apt-get or synapitic. So the user can select his different
  installing sessions and reverse them. This would be very useful.
