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.
Screenshots:
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.
