Starting today, live images of cosmic will have most packages marked as automatically installed instead of manually installed, so autoremoval works correctly.
The algorithm that does the marking marks all dependencies of manually installed metapackages as automatically installed, so it should be entirely safe. That said, you might want to double check images and installs from them to see if it looks halfway sane. We can watch this for some time and if all goes well, backport it to bionic for the .2 point release. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
