apt-get remove tries to remove dependent package when asked to remove one of it's dependencies [closed]
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

Suppose I have my Debian package (ex. mypackage) that strongly depends on openssl >= 1.0.2 (has Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), openssl (>= 1.0.2) in its control file). When I am trying to remove openssl out of my system, I see mypackage marked to remove:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mypackage ca-certificates openssl python3-requests ssh-import-id
Maybe, I see a bit of logic in a such behavior, but can't see any proof of exact reason why does apt choose mypackage to remove and how am I supposed to prevent it.

How would you usemypackagewithout havingopensslinstalled? What would be the point of keeping packages whose functionality depended onopensslinstalled?

@Kusalananda, as I said - I think, there is a bit of logic here. But why doesn't apt remove other packages dependent on openssl except listed ones in OP?

What other packages do you expectaptto remove? It’s removingca-certificateswhich depends onopenssl, andpython3-requestsandssh-import-idwhich depend onca-certificates. If you expect all packages depending on OpenSSL (the project) to be removed, you probably want to removelibssl1.0.2as well;opensslonly contains the client tools, not the OpenSSL library itself.

How would you use
mypackage without having openssl installed? What would be the point of keeping packages whose functionality depended on openssl installed?– Kusalananda
