Was using an up-to-date Alpha 5 I tried changing the status of the packages under 'Manual' to 'Automatically Installed' by using the option in the 'Package' menu entry.
For most of them they changed without a fuss. However a few packages uninstalled key parts of the system. The only problematic packages I managed to catch were: ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard There are others as well that removed more than they should have but I didn't bother remembering their names because the packages they asked to remove seemed 'reasonable' to me at the time. However, the 3 listed above will suggest you autoremove your entire system when their status is changed to 'Automatically Installed' in Synaptic, especially ubuntu- desktop. -- new state "installed (manual)" on synaptic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
