* Call MarkAndSweep only manually in apt-get for autoremoveDavid Kalnischkies2021-04-261-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An interactive tool like aptitude needs these flags current far more often than we do as a user can see them in apt only in one very well defined place – the autoremove display block – so we don't need to run it up to four times while a normal "apt install" is processed as that is just busywork. The effect on runtime is minimal, as a single run doesn't take too long anyhow, but it cuts down tremendously on debug output at the expense of requiring some manual handholding. This is opt-in so that aptitude doesn't need to change nor do we need to change our own tools like "apt list" where it is working correctly as intended. A special flag and co is needed as we want to prevent the ActionGroup inside pkgDepCache::Init to be inhibited already so we need to insert ourselves while the DepCache is still in the process of being built. This is also the reason why the debug output in some tests changed to all unmarked, but that is fine as the marking could have been already obsoleted by the actions taken, just inhibited by a proper action group.
* Filter out impossible solutions for protected propagationDavid Kalnischkies2020-07-021-0/+33
| | | | | | | | If the package providing the given solution is tagged already for removal (or at least for "not installing") we can ignore this solution as a possibility as it is not one, which means we can avoid exploring the option and potentially forward the protected flag further if that helps in reducing the possibilities to a single one.
* Delay removals due to Conflicts until Depends are resolvedDavid Kalnischkies2020-07-021-0/+74
Marking a package for removal is fine if we know that we have to remove that package, but if we are in an alternative branch we might not go this route in the end and hence have a package pointlessly marked for removal which isn't questioned later on. We check if we are allowed to remove that package to avoid working on the positive dependencies if not, but we mark them for removal only after all the other dependencies are successfully resolved. In an ideal world we would let the problemResolver do its job on them, but the resolver might decide against doing the removal exploring another option like the next alternative, which might be a good idea, but is not the behaviour we had before, so that is the best we can do for now without changing the resolver drastically.
