[Bug 1472351] Re: autoremove keeps *all* providers of virtual rdeps unconditionally

[Julian Andres Klode]

This was fixed in yakkety. The fix is also in 1.2.15 in xenial-proposed.
But as that one is already uploaded, I'm not going to add an extra
xenial task to this bug.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)

Title:
  autoremove keeps *all* providers of virtual rdeps unconditionally

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  i'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I have an issue with autoremove command.

  The point is that I have Virtualbox package installed that has
  following tag:

  Recommends: linux-headers

  As a result autoremove marks all of linux-headers-*/linux-headers-*-generic
  packages as required and declines to sweep them. Please check the attached
  log file.
