Some people apparently do use the CIFS feature for the default Ubuntu ISO. Are you interested in the default ISO or were you making a custom ISO? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786227 Title: should not hard-depend on cifs-utils Status in casper package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently (current bionic has the casper version 1.394), it hard- depends on cifs-utils, which make the installation 41 MB bigger. This is only needed if used with getting the squash image via cifs. The basic functionality (running a live iso or image) works without it - proven by killing the dependency by hand. So I suggest to move cifs-utils to recommendends or suggestions.
