I don't recall facing the issue like yours when org gets auto-installed as
dependency. But I found it annoying to wait for org to get installed as
dependency magically when some package having that as dependency got
updated. So I would delete it manually, some package would get updated, and
it would get installed again.
So eventually I came up with this and this has worked fine:
;; http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/26513/115
(defun modi/package-dependency-check-ignore (orig-ret)
"Remove the `black listed packages' from ORIG-RET.
Packages listed in the let-bound `pkg-black-list' will not be auto-installed
even if they are found as dependencies.
It is known that this advice is not effective when installed packages
asynchronously using `paradox'. Below is effective on synchronous
package installations."
(let ((pkg-black-list '(org))
new-ret
pkg-name)
(dolist (pkg-struct orig-ret)
(setq pkg-name (package-desc-name pkg-struct))
(if (member pkg-name pkg-black-list)
(message (concat "Package `%s' will not be installed. "
"See `modi/package-dependency-check-ignore'.")
pkg-name)
;; (message "Package to be installed: %s" pkg-name)
(push pkg-struct new-ret)))
new-ret))
(advice-add 'package-compute-transaction :filter-return
#'modi/package-dependency-check-ignore)
