I've tried using `apt-mark hold ubuntu-wallpapers` but that causes the `gnome-shell` installation to fail. After some investigation I found out the `ubuntu-wallpapers` package is a required dependency of `gnome-shell`, would it be possible to make `gnome-shell` to offer `ubuntu- wallpapers` as recommended package? Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 18.10 Package version: 3.30.1-2ubuntu1.18.10.1 What do you expect to happen? The `ubuntu-wallpapers` package should be recommended (not required) when installing `gnome-shell` What happened instead? The `gnome-shell` package depends on `ubuntu-wallpapers` To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1809605/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
