How to install a package without marking it as manually installed?
How can I install a debian package but make apt consider it automatically installed? I.e. if I later run apt-get autoremove, this package would be uninstalled.
Solution 1:
The best way I've found is to run:
apt-get install mypackage myotherpackage
apt-mark auto mypackage myotherpackage
If you have aptitude installed, you can also do:
aptitude -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false install mypackage+M myotherpackage+M
