[Backport v2023dev1 -> v2022] apt-install: Pass --allow-remove-essential (!20) · Merge requests · pkg / apertis-flatdeb

Ryan Gonzalez requested to merge wip/refi64/backport-remove-essential into apertis/v2022 Mar 02, 2022

This is needed in many cases when replacing packages from the target repos, e.g. replacing busybox-gzip with GNU gzip. I considered making this configurable, but it would have to be enabled for a large number of SDKs regardless, so the risk isn't significantly greater by having it always on.

Note that I didn't backport the other v2023dev1 change for rust-findutils, since that would be higher risk given the v2022 freeze and wouldn't fix anything here.
