I worry that removing a common metapackage name like that from an LTS release initially, will crush tons of automation built over the years, especially for ssh X forwarding use cases on servers without a window manager. What is the alternative? Attach some of the actually required dependencies and display drivers to the xwayland package?
I'm really only trying to change a required to be installed package to a recommended package. This will be installed anyways, it will just optionally be removable. The default behavior in Ubuntu is to install recommended packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956126 Title: xorg metapackage depends on x11-apps and xorg-docs-core Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: xorg, a required dependency of ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop- minimal requires the package x11-apps. Currently Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy defaults to Wayland. These applications are ancient and now most people won't even be using X11, much less these example applications. Why are x11-apps going to be required in April of 2022?
