Description Remko van der Vossen 2024-01-17 15:39:32 UTC

diffutils @ f3afb58bd102a74ccc7a7db2ae2365cfd5531314 fails PRE_REMOVE because /usr/share/info/diff.info does not exist. This leads to the spell successfully casting and being installed, however there is a "spell failed, remembering that" message and dependents seem to be getting dropped.

PRE_REMOVE exit status should either be fatal to the cast or it should not, now it seems to be kind of both, the cast succeeds but dependents seem to be dropped.

Input Ismael, it should be fatal:
1631 +wich ismael: we should make a choice, either it should be fatal to the cast or it should not, now it seems to be kind of both, the cast succeeds but 
           dependents seem to be dropped
1631 +wich That is not good
1632  ismael it should be fatal sure
