Just do not remove libpcsclite1. You can reinstall it with: sudo apt install --reinstall libpcsclite1
If you *really* think it is a bug then please report it to wpasupplicant that depends on libpcsclite1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pcsc-lite in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847742 Title: "sudo apt remove libpcsclite1" tries to remove network-manager and more Status in pcsc-lite package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I recently needed to remove and reinstall libpcsclite1_1.8.23-1_amd64.deb. I noticed that the removal of this package would result in the removal of various network-relevant packages (see below). I saw bug report #949912 which reported a similar thing in 2012 and marked it fixed. I understand that report dealt with the support of multiarch, but the behaviour of apt in the case of removal of libpcsclite1 seems undesirable to me. Here's the console output I got when trying to remove libpcsclite1 (sorry for the German output): sudo apt remove libpcsclite1 [sudo] Passwort für clemens: Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut. Statusinformationen werden eingelesen....

Nach dieser Operation werden 126 MB Plattenplatz freigegeben. Möchten Sie fortfahren? [J/n] The crucial part is all those packages which apt wants to remove ("werden ENTFERNT"). I guess I could be doing a stupid thing trying to remove the libpcsclite1, but it really seems like unwanted behaviour since continuing this package removal as suggested by apt would result in an offline computer.
