I see. "apt-mark auto '*'" may not be "supported" but it works and has been for a long time, even on Debian. If my installation wouldn't have had an encrypted root, I wouldn't have run into any issue. And I guess those with a non-encrypted setup don't need cryptsetup so in this sense ubuntu-minimal stays true to its name.

Well, almost everything. Two packages that they don't depend on, but should, or at least it should recommend them are: - cryptsetup - lvm2 The reason is that if Ubuntu was installed with disk encryption and/or LVM turned on, these packages are essential. The system won't even boot without cryptsetup, for example (found this out the hard way). The release of Ubuntu you are using: 22.10 The version of the package you are using: ubuntu-desktop-minimal 1.497 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/2003387/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
