I would also like to see this change: * ubuntu-advantage-tools and its dependencies add about 3MB to ubuntu-minimal installations (checked by installing ubuntu-minimal's Depends in a Docker container with and without u-a-t) * it installs a systemd timer which runs (to do nothing, as the service it runs is disabled without ua-auto-attach.service present) * it installs MOTD hooks, which run regularly * it installs an apt hook, which is executed on every update and upgrade, and twice on installs
If one is not interested in UA services, these are wasted resources, and provide an incentive to remove ubuntu-minimal from systems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1930914 Title: ubuntu-minimal depends on ubuntu-advantage-tools Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is counter to #1566183 There is no reason to enforce desktop users who manage machine on their own to install ubuntu-advantage- tools, especially when this is 'minimal' version.
