Issue:
When using Nala package manager to install a software package, such as Insomnia, packages unrelated to the new software dependencies are being removed. This behavior is not observed when using dpkg
or apt install ./name-of-software.deb
directly.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Download a software package with the
.deb
extension, e.g., Insomnia. - Execute the command:
sudo nala install ./name-of-software.deb
.
Expected Behavior:
The software (e.g., Insomnia) should be installed without removing any unrelated packages.
Actual Behavior:
Nala removes several important packages unrelated to the new software dependencies during the installation process.
Additional Information:
- Nala version: nala 0.12.2, installed from ubuntu repository.
- Operating System: Ubuntu 23.04
Note:
The issue seems to be specific to Nala, as installing the same .deb
package directly with dpkg
or apt
does not exhibit this problem.
