Package: apt-get
Version: apt 2.5.2 (i386)


addendum to my email of 18.09.2022 22:11

The problematic nature lies deeper.

1. for muon (e.g.):

/var/log/dpkg.log shows:

2022-09-18 20:15:28
status installed muon:i386 4:5.08.-2

2022-09-18 20:15:29
remove muon:i386 4:5.08.-2 <none>

2022-09-18 20:15:29
status half-configured muon:i386 4:5.08.-2

2022-09-18 20:15:29
status half-installed muon:i386 4:5.08.-2

2022-09-18 20:15:29
status triggers-pending hicolor-icon-theme:all 0.17-2

2022-09-18 20:15:30
status config-files muon:i386 4:5.08.-2

2022-09-18 20:15:30
status not-installed muon:i386 <none>


dpkg-query --status muon

shows:

dpkg-query: package 'muon' is not installed and no information is available

(remark: muon I have had installed by hand)

==

2. for konsole (e.g.):

2022-09-18 20:15:37
status installed konsole:i386 4:22.04.1-1

2022-09-18 20:15:37
remove konsole:i386 4:22.04.1-1 <none>

2022-09-18 20:15:37
status half-installed konsole:i386 4:22.04.1-1

2022-09-18 20:15:39
status config-files konsole:i386 4:22.04.1-1


dpkg-query --status konsole

shows:

Status: deinstall ok config-files
... many lines ...

( my email of 18.09.2022 22:11 without correct pseudo-header lines)


On the way to repaire my system KNOPPIX 9.1, which was damaged by aptitude, that had removed thousands of packages, I have just used apt-get:

apt-get install kde-runtime

This gave a long list of depends error masseges ref. libqtcore4, the last lines were:

libsolid4 : Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not installable.

Then I have made:

apt-get install libqtcore4

While apt-get was working, apt-get had removed very many packages, e.g. muon, and, e.g., konsole !!!!

After this apt-get was finished, I have repeated:

apt-get install kde-runtime

The result was the same long list as described above.

However libqtcore4 is correctly installed. 

dpkg-query --status libqtcore4

shows::

Status: install ok installed
Version: 4:8.4.7+dfsg-18+deb10u1

Now I have to reinstall konsole, muon, and the many other senselessly removed packages. - days of hard work.

( München had 10 years worked to intruduce Linux in the city goverment and gave up. In Linux is all weird and unreliable. Must it be? )

Closing this bug because

a) This happened on Knoppix, not Debian
b) Operator error is not an apt bug, neither is it an aptitude bug. If
   you get asked whether to remove packages and you say "ok, go ahead",
   don't complain later that the packages were removed.

If you actually ask the prompts in a way that you say no when it ends up
trying to remove half your system, life is easier. If you just say yes
to everything, you gotta live with the breakage.
