libfuse3-3 package is being installed and removed repeatedly about nala HOT 8 OPEN

It says right in there that it is Auto-Removing.

Try apt full-upgrade --auto-remove and see if the same behavior happens.

Try apt full-upgrade --auto-remove and see if the same behavior happens.

But it's also installing it whenever I do nala update && nala upgrade. In APT, it doesn't happen. In NALA I am stuck in an endless loop of installing and uninstalling this package.

This is why I said to run apt full-upgrade --auto-remove

This is closer to what Nala is performing. Did you try that?

If you want it to stop immediately then you can change the config option in /etc/nala/nala.conf as below.

# Set to false to disable auto auto-removing
auto_remove = false

But I'd at least like to know if that apt command I sent will reproduce the behavior.

Yes, still the same.

Putting a bandage on the problem is not going to fix it. If I'm gonna have to mess around with nala's configurations, I am not going to use it at all.

There has been some progress though; when I did apt full-upgrade --auto-remove it auto removed the package libfuse3-3, then I ran the command again, APT did not install this package again.
But then I ran the command sudo nala update;sudo nala upgrade and it tried to install the package libfuse3-3 again.

So... APT does not reproduce this issue. As I said previously, it only happens with nala.

I just noticed you're on 20.04. Can you give me the output of nala --version and apt list nala -a?

from nala.

There you go:

user@PC:~$ nala --version
nala 0.11.1
user@PC:~$ apt list nala -a
Listing... Done
nala/scar,scar 0.13.0 all
nala/scar,scar 0.12.3 all

from nala.

I believe you are using nala-legacy, which is very old and no longer supported. It's a compiled binary and tended to have a lot of weird compiler bugs. I would upgrade to the latest 0.13.0 and try again. In order to do this you will have to run apt remove nala-legacy and then apt install nala. There may be dependency issues because Nala was never really designed to work on 20.04.

It should be able to pull them from my repository depending on how you set up our repo.
