Bug Description

ISI\jhaltom@station-1:/var/crash$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall cpp-4.2

cpp-4.2 set to manual installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 28 not upgraded.

I don't think this is appropiate to do. It should only be set to manually installed when it is being installed from scratch.
