apt wants to remove matrix-synapse, flagged for autoremove #4916

I am using matrix-synapse since over a year now on an Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS server. Always let it update via apt-get, had no issues so far. Today I noticed this output:

lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic

Why is matrix-synapse listed under the "not needed packages anymore" to remove via "apt autoremove"? Do I see it right, if I would use the "apt autoremove" it would literally ruin my matrix installation and remove it? Anyone could help me here what I should do with this. The server is running fine right now.

apt list -a --installed matrix-synapse Auflistung... Fertig matrix-synapse/unbekannt,unbekannt,now 0.34.0.1-0matrix2 all [installiert,automatisch-entfernbar] matrix-synapse/bionic,bionic 0.24.0+dfsg-1 all

I am a bit concerned about that output. Seems there was soemthing messed up, and two versions installed? And it wants to remove one of them the newer one? This doesnt look good to me.

/etc/apt/sources.list has this entry for matrix:

deb https://matrix.org/packages/debian/ bionic main # Bei Aktualisierung zu bionic deaktiviert

This seems to be a question about apt-get, not synapse.

This means that matrix-synapse was installed due to it being a dependency of another package. I can't tell you what that package was, or why it no longer depends on matrix-synapse.

You should also note that matrix-synapse 0.34.0.1-0matrix2 is a transitional package which just depends on matrix-synapse-py3. As long as that package is correctly installed, you should be fine.

I also recommend using apt rather than apt-get.

None of this is a bug in synapse. Please see the issue templates: this is not the place to ask for support.
