[Bug 1080661] [NEW] Software-center does not list all removals of reverse dependencies

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jan Groenewald (jan-aims):

When I remove with apt, I can see all the reverse dependencies that will
be removed, for example:

0 root@muizenberg:~#apt-get remove sagemath-upstream-binary 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-3.2.0-32 linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED
  aims-desktop-extra aims-desktop-standard aims-science-extra
  aims-science-standard sagemath-optional sagemath-upstream-binary
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
After this operation, 2 329 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
1 root@muizenberg:~#

But when clicking remove on sagemath-upstream-binary while displaying it in the software center ONLY these three are listed
(the direct rdepends, not the nested ones)
  aims-science-standard sagemath-optional sagemath-upstream-binary

Should software-center not list all the removed packages?
