In effect this is an extension of the 6 years old commit
a8dfff90aa740889eb99d00fde5d70908d9fd88a which uses the autoremover to
remove packages again from the solution which are no longer needed to be
there. Commonly these are dependencies of packages we end up not
installed due to problem resolver decisions. Slightly less common is
the situation we deal with here: a package which we wanted to upgrade
sporting a new dependency, but ended up holding back.
The problem is that all versions of an installed reverse dependencies can
bring back a "garbage" package – we need to do this as there is
nothing inherently wrong in having garbage packages installed or upgrade
them, which itself would have garbage dependencies, so just blindly
killing all new garbage packages would prevent the upgrade (and actually
generate errors). What we should be doing is looking only at the version
we will have on the system, disregarding all old/new reverse dependencies.

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.

The bugreport is more conservative in asking for a conditional, but
given that this is a message intended to be read by users to be run by
users we should suggest using a command intended to be used by users.
And while we are at, add sudo to the message – conditional of course.

apt-get is displaying various lists of package names, which until now it
was building as a string before passing it to ShowList, which inserted
linebreaks at fitting points and showed a title if needed, but it never
really understood what it was working with. With the help of C++11 the
new generic knows not only what it works with, but generates the list on
the fly rather than asking for it and potentially discarding parts of
the input (= the non-default verbose display). It also doubles as a test
for how usable the CacheSets are with C++11.
(Not all callers are adapted yet.)

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.

For many commands the output isn't stable (like then dpkg is called) but
the exitcode is, so this helper enhances the common && msgpass ||
msgfail by generating automatically a msgtest and showing the output of
the command in case of failure instead of discarding it unconditionally,
the later being chronic-like behaviour

- do not call Mark{Install,Delete} from the autoremove code with
the FromUser bit set to avoid modifying the auto-installed bit
|
|
- distinguish information about 'apt-get autoremove' based on the
number of auto-removed packages both before and after the list
of packages (Closes: #665833)

shellscript, keep tests running even on failure but log failures
