[Bug 1429041] [NEW] Autoremoval not working reliable on precise

[Michael Vogt]

Public bug reported:

The APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections in precise is not working reliable. Apt
is not always looking at the section of the version to be installed but
instead may look at a random versions section.

This breaks "apt-get autoremove" for no-longer-required kernels.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)

         Status: Fix Released

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu Precise)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

  The APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections in precise is not working reliable. Apt
  is not always looking at the section of the version to be installed but
  instead may look at the install version section.
